I completed a comparative study of three communities which have or are said to have some practice of healing justice: Hollow Water (an Aboriginal community in Canada), Iona Community (a Christian community in Scotland) and Plum Village (a Vietnamese initiated Buddhist community in France). I am now working at putting this study into a publication with Jessica Kingsley Publishers.<\/p>\n<p>Returning to Canadian Mennonite University in Winnipeg, Manitoba, I continue happily teaching a variety of courses on peacebuilding, restorative justice and non-violence.<\/p>\n<p><strong>April 2007<\/strong><strong>: <\/strong>We return to Winnipeg on May 31, 2007. I start at Canadian Mennonite University on July 1st.\u00a0My doctoral research at the University of Hull (United Kingdom) is going well. I&#8217;m doing a comparative study of three communities that are said to have a practice of healing justice: Hollow Water (Canada, Aboriginal), The Iona Community (Scotland, Christian) and Plum Village (Vietnamese-inspired Buddhist community in France, home of Thich Nhat Hanh). So, basically, I&#8217;ve been hanging out with communities I really respect and want to learn from. Pretty good arrangement! Research, like justice, doesn\u2019t have to be painful. I plan to submit by the end of 2007.<\/p>\n<p>Rhona has been doing some teaching and some work as a teacher-assistant. Our 5-year old daughters, Sara and Koila, are in school full-time, picking up the local accent. When we return to Winnipeg, they will go to a French immersion school, all French instruction for English families.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":2964,"template":"","regions":[734],"fields-of-practice":[773],"degree":[760],"grad-year":[1155],"class_list":["post-1909","cjp_alumni","type-cjp_alumni","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","regions-canada","fields-of-practice-strategic-peacebuilding","degree-ma_ct","grad-year-1155"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/emu.edu\/now\/peacebuilder\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cjp_alumni\/1909","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/emu.edu\/now\/peacebuilder\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cjp_alumni"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/emu.edu\/now\/peacebuilder\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/cjp_alumni"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/emu.edu\/now\/peacebuilder\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2964"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/emu.edu\/now\/peacebuilder\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1909"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"regions","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/emu.edu\/now\/peacebuilder\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/regions?post=1909"},{"taxonomy":"fields-of-practice","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/emu.edu\/now\/peacebuilder\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/fields-of-practice?post=1909"},{"taxonomy":"degree","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/emu.edu\/now\/peacebuilder\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/degree?post=1909"},{"taxonomy":"grad-year","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/emu.edu\/now\/peacebuilder\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/grad-year?post=1909"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
