Biography

Laura Villanueva has recently come to S-CAR after 10 years of peacebuilding project management, development, and practice in the field.  Her experience and practice began at the Basque Peace Institute in Gernika. She then went on to join a Japanese NGO that has develped a people-to-people harmonybuilding process, which is on-going and co-located in Japan and the Middle East. Laura also worked and practiced her approach in other locations in Europe utilizing culture as a key peacebuilding entry point. For her most recent project, she has co-founded a women’s NGO in Mexico, which is preparing to train women as peacebuilders.
 
Laura is pursuing her PhD at S-CAR to refine and build on her practice and conceptual work on a Japanese grassroots peacebuilding model. Specifically this is a Japan-based peacebuilding model that has the potential to serve as an innovative people-to-people application for use in different areas of conflict. Also in this regard, Laura is examining the epigenetics nexus of love and conflict transformation in connection with on-going processes in the field. Her overall objective is to better equip theorists and practitioners with tools to establish love conceptually and practically as a peacebuilding fundamental.
