RESEARCH RELEASED | The MSB is pleased to announce the report, Gathering food for thought: First Nations peoples' approach to peacebuilding and peacemaking in Australia, is available for download. This Report is a significant milestone in understanding the ways in which First Nations people and their communities approach and manage conflict. Dr Dr. Helen Bishop, Dr Alysoun Boyle, PhD, Professor Tania Sourdin, @Dr Bin Li, and @Sally Prowse at University of Newcastle, were awarded the 2022 MSB Research Grant, and the release of this Report marks the completion of their project and the first phase of their ongoing research into the current understanding of First Nations people's #peacebuilding and #peacemaking. The #MSB strongly encourages the wider dispute resolution community to consider the Report as it is, to our knowledge, the first of its kind to consider such a broad range of historical and contemporary material. As noted by MSB Chairman, Dr Peter Condliffe PhD., in a recent MSB member update, “..it is vital that dispute system design and training in First Nations communities has both First Nations leadership and meaningful involvement..” First Nations peoples are warned that the Report contains sensitive cultural and historical material.

7moWonderful to see this post up, it is significant work requiring further research and participation of First Nations Peacebuilders and Peacemakers in Australia and the communities who draw on their service practice. Thank you to the MSB and the University of Newcastle for the much needed support to shine a bright light on and amplify the peacebuilding and peacemaking approaches of First Nations. A pleasure to work with such a compassionate and respectful team on this significant and transformative journey. Mumuk, Dr Helen Bishop
