What's new in the peace movement? What's Dr. Bonfiglio up to? Is Heroes of a Different Stripe being featured anywhere? If so, you'll find it here first.




Dr. Bonfiglio has been traveling a lot lately, which is grist for her writing mill. Over the past 12 months she has been to England, Washington DC, Florida, and Thailand. She now has plans to visit Dubrovnik, Croatia with possible side trips to Prague and Copenhagen to see some friends.


Heroes of a Different Stripe was named this year's International Peacewriting Award by the OMNI Center for Peace, Justice, and Ecology, and the Peace and Justice Studies Association at the University of Arkansas-Fayetteville in May.


Dr. Bonfiglio was invited to speak for 90 minutes on "Just George Maurer", a WKIZ (1500 AM) radio show broadcasting from Key West, Florida, on Sunday, June 10.


Dr. Bonfiglio, assistant professor of education at Kalamazoo College, will teach a peace studies course next winter quarter.


Dr. Bonfiglio will present a paper entitled "Adopting the Warrior Archetype as a Strategy for Dealing with a Dangerously Volatile World." Based on the work of Jungian psychologist James Hillman and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) psychoanalyst Edward Tick, the paper will examine the characteristics and dynamics of the warrior archetype exhibited by Cindy Sheehan and others who courageously and tenaciously address the problems of war and violence in our world.


From USA Today, August 26, 2004:


NEW YORK — When a busload of 35 anti-war demonstrators pulls out of Kalamazoo, Mich., Saturday night, each passenger will have a six-page booklet written by organizer Olga Bonfiglio.

Bring food, water, identification and signs mounted only on cardboard tubes, it says. And remember: "If you get arrested, we're not going to bail you out, and we're not going to wait for you on the bus."

Out-of-town demonstrators coming here for Sunday's protest march on the eve of the Republican convention say the controversy over the march's route and heightened security may reduce the size of the crowd but should not distract from their goal: protesting the Bush administration.
