Humanitarianism in the Home: Hosting-At-Home and the Politics of Hospitality

Focusing on humanitarian responses within the Global South and North, Humanitarianism in the Home critically examines hosting-at-home - that is, people providing shelter in their own home to displaced people - as a widespread yet underexamined and underappreciated response to large-scale displacement.

Gabrielle Daoust is Assistant Professor in the Department of Global and International Studies at the University of Northern British Columbia, Canada. Her research has explored changing forms, spaces, and experiences of humanitarian response, relationships between and responses to environmental and climate change and insecurity, and the political economy of conflict and peacebuilding.

Synne L. Dyvik is Associate Professor in International Relations at the University of Sussex, UK. Her research focuses on the gendered and racialised embodiment of humanitarianism, development, and conflict, with a focus on how people engage with and experience global politics. She has previously researched and published widely on the relationship between gender and counterinsurgency warfare, as well as on militarism and embodiment.
