Human dignity includes such things as gender and racial equality, understanding of religious and cultural differences, access to education and livelihoods, the right to free expression, and freedom from slavery and torture. At MacMillan, our engagement reflects deep empirical and historical study, and well-designed analytically rigorous research that focuses on issues such as conflict moderation, reducing discrimination against migrants and refugees, and gender-inclusive development. We also provide, to the extent possible, an academic home to international scholars who have had to flee persecution and discrimination.
