Could you give a bit more of an idea of what the conference will be looking at? Is there room there for consideration of interfaith and intercultural aspects of peacebuilding?
Regards,
Andria Durney
PS By the way, do you happen to know whether it is possible to transfer Australian Postgraduate Award PhD scholarships between unis (I am enrolled at UNSW in Visual Anthropology, but am finding it doesn't fit my interests in peacebuilding)?

Thanks! What are you currently researching at in the Philippines? I just returned from a research trip to Mindanao. Although the role of the media is just a small part of my research (focusing on civil society peace building and interethnical cooperation on community level), I am working on that for a while. Would be interested in your research!

I am interested in your graduate program. I began an on-line graduate program in the states which I stopped attending because it did match my interest in peace and conflict studies. Also, can you send a link to your conference announcement. Thank you. attypatete@sbcglobal.net

I have just been admitted for a PHD in peace and conflict studies at the university of Ibadan, Nigeria. I was a journalist and now an academic with Lagos state University, Journalism Dept. Your name and that of McGoldrich keeps turning up in my search for literature on my dissertation topic:Principles, Practice and Prospects of Conflict-sensitive Journalism in Nigeria. I'll be glad if you can forward publications and ideas to me on this topic. But first,is there a difference conceptually between peace journalism and Conflict-sensitive Journalism? Thanks. jidejimoh@yahoo.com

Hello:

I would be interested in knowing more about the Centre for Peace and Conflict Studies and your research on the Philippines. I had the chance to get in touch with peacebuilding initiative in Mindanao and I was really impressed.

Best wishes
