The third episode of My Life In…, the podcast from the Centre for Minorities Research (CMR) is out now!
In this episode, Dr Alasdair Gordon-Gibson, Honorary Lecturer at the University of St Andrews, speaks with David Horobin, Senior Crisis Management Advisor at the Geneva Centre for Security Policy, about his extensive experience in humanitarian response and crisis management.
Together, they explore David’s professional journey across complex emergency and conflict settings, reflecting on the realities of working in high-pressure environments and the challenges of coordinating responses in times of crisis. The conversation highlights key aspects of leadership, decision-making, and collaboration, as well as the human dimensions of supporting vulnerable communities in rapidly changing and often unpredictable contexts.
Through this discussion, David offers valuable insights into the practical and ethical considerations of working in humanitarian and crisis response, as well as the broader impact of this work on individuals and communities.
This episode was recorded as part of the My Life In… public seminar series and has been adapted for podcast format to ensure wider accessibility.
