Decolonizing Humanitarian Aid<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fiana Arbab<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Colonizers have historically used religion as justification for subjugating other peoples. Though it seems like a distant past, Sustainable Development & Peace Studies graduate student Fiana Arbab demonstrates how this logic persists today. Questioning whether religiously-motivated humanitarian work can persist in an increasingly secular field, Arbab demonstrates the unique capabilities of a theologically-based approach.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
