"Told through the voices of local community leaders, this book
analyzes how communities respond to natural disasters and how
outsiders contribute positively--or negatively--to their response,
promoting debate on the role of aid and the media in times of
crisis"--
This volume looks at research methods through the lens of peace
studies and peace values. Apart from reviewing established methods
from peace psychology, it presents some innovative ideas for
conducting research in the area of peace psychology. Many of these
methods are drawn from the field, from activities used by active
peace practitioners. A critical component of this volume is its
core argument that peace research should be conducted by peaceful
means, and should model peaceful processes. Organized thematically,
the volume begins with a review of the established best practices
in peace psychology research methodology, including methods for
qualitative research, for quantitative research, and participative
action networks. In doing so, it also points to some of the
limitations of working for peace within the tradition of a single
discipline and to the need to expand psychology methodology, to
methodologies. Therefore, the second half of the volume proceeds to
explore the realm of innovative, relatively unorthodox research
methods, such as participatory and workshop methods, the creative
arts, and sports for research purposes. The use of new advances in
information technology to conduct peaceful research are also
discussed. The concluding chapters synthesize key issues from the
previous chapters, and links peace psychology with ideas and
implementation of research designs and practices. Finally, it
discusses the nature of academic knowledge, and more specifically,
academic knowledge in peace psychology, and where that fits into
the mission to build a more peaceful world. Overall this book aims
to provide peace psychologists with an array of possibilities and
best practices for approaching their research. Many researchers
find the experience of doing research a somewhat lonely, if not
isolating, experience. Methodologies in Peace Psychology: Peace
Research by Peaceful Means aims to alleviate this feeling as the
use of these more innovative methods leads to a closer engagement
with the community and a much more social experience of research.
This volume is a useful tool for both new and experienced
researchers because it provides leads for idealistic young
researchers who want their work to make a difference, in addition
to encouraging more reflection and analysis for experienced peace
psychologists.
This book is a case study of the development of peace psychology in
Australia. While there is, in comparison to other countries,
relatively little overt violence, Australia the nation was founded
on the dispossession of Indigenous people, and their oppression
continues today. Peace Psychology in Australia covers the most
significant issues of peace and conflict in the country. It begins
with a review of conflict resolution practices among Australia 's
ancient Indigenous cultures and succinctly captures topics of peace
and conflict which the country has faced in the past 222 years
since British settlement. The fast population growth, thriving
multiculturalism, leadership in international affairs and
environmental isolation make Australia a microcosm for the study of
human conflicts and peace movements.
