"Taking the point of departure in the urgent social challenges tied with current failures of humanitarian management and inclusion of Non-Western others in "developed" Western societies, this dissertation explores the ways in which representation and knowledge about human suffering guides our (un)willingness to act ethically with respect to vulnerable strangers and the difficult conditions they endure." -- Abstract.
