Welcome to IOHSS!

Humanitarian Studies is a relatively new academic discipline; however, universities all around the world are recognizing the need for collaboration between academics and practitioners, as well as the importance of the study of the humanitarian field within an inherently interdisciplinary context.

IOHSS was set up in May 2012 with the aim of providing resources for students who are, or would like to, read for a degree in humanitarian studies. The site also caters for those who would like to find internships or jobs in the humanitaian field, as well as those who are studying related fields (international relations, political science, epidemiology, development, conflict response, etc).

This website will grow rapidly over the coming weeks and months, so do keep checking back for updates! You may also join us on facebook by clicking here, or by clicking on the icon on the top right hand corner of this page.
