Human Dignity & Conflict Resolution Expert; Associate at Harvard Weatherhead Center; Author of "Dignity: Its Essential Role in Resolving Conflict"
Donna Hicks Biography
Dr. Donna Hicks is an authority on human dignity and conflict resolution and serves as an associate at the Weatherhead Center for International Affairs at Harvard University. Formerly the deputy director of the Program on International Conflict Analysis and Resolution at the Weatherhead Center, Hicks has taught courses in conflict resolution at Harvard, Clark, and Columbia universities. She conducts dignity leadership training and educational seminars internationally. As the creator of the Dignity Model, Hicks has identified key obstacles in human relationships and demonstrates how dignity can be used to repair relationships and address conflict.
Over more than three decades at Harvard, Hicks has focused on international conflicts, including work on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, a decade-long project on Sri Lanka, and involvement in conflicts in Colombia and Northern Ireland, as well as US-Cuba dialogues. She has facilitated dialogues in unofficial diplomatic efforts in the Middle East, Sri Lanka, Cambodia, Colombia, Cuba, Libya, and Syria. Hicks served as a consultant to British Broadcasting Company, co-facilitating encounters between victims and perpetrators of the Northern Irish conflict with Archbishop Desmond Tutu, which were featured in three television programs broadcast in the United Kingdom and on BBC World. Her clients have included the World Bank, United Nations, US Navy, and the government of Colombia, where her work on human interaction and organizational culture has supported the development of dignity-based environments.
Hicks is the author of the book "Dignity: Its Essential Role in Resolving Conflict," published by Yale University Press with a foreword by Archbishop Desmond Tutu. In this work, she establishes dignity as a universal and motivating force in human interaction. Her follow-up, "Leading with Dignity: How to Create a Culture That Brings Out the Best in People," focuses on creating cultures of dignity to foster productive relationships, wellbeing, and safe work environments.
Hicks’s emphasis on dignity and its role in conflict resolution has influenced work environments for companies, non-profits, and governmental agencies. She is also vice president of Ara Pacis, an Italian non-governmental organization involved in dignity restoration projects in Syria and Libya. As a speaker, Hicks draws on her background in international conflict resolution and experience with the Dignity Model to provide audiences with insights into the role of dignity in human relationships and organizational culture.
