At 3:22pm on February 16, 2009, Andria Durney said…: For the first time ever I will now have to sign myself with my surname - having met another "Andria" (spelt this way) for the first time in my life!! I am starting my anthropological PhD in "Indigenous Peacebuilding Through Art: Hunter Region" and have never - nor has my supervisor! - done any peace studies before. Can you recommend some essential reading? There is so much out there that it is daunting knowing how to begin. I am interested in post-conflict peacebuilding, esp with Indigenous peoples, and of what role art can play in healing, communicating, exploring creative solutions etc.
Cheers!
Andria Durney :)
