Advancing Peacebuilding from the Ground up
For many years, scholars and practitioners have been struggling with problems of local ownership in international organizations-led peacebuilding. Despite the discourse surrounding giving ownership to local communities, top-down approaches prevail in practice and often lead to counterproductive outcomes. Ethnographic fieldwork has proven that international organizsations could achieve a better understanding of local experiential perspectives on conflict and peace. Here, we point to key features of local peace and suggest how international organizations could better incorporate peaceful local agency, cope with power imbalances and advance strategies for peacebuilding from the ground up

The Future Station: Sustaining Multidisciplinary, Community-Engaged Research, Teaching and Outreach at the Bonne Bay Marine Station
The Bonne Bay Marine Station (BBMS) is a prize asset of Memorial University. It actively contributes to the three University pillars: Research, Teaching and Engagement. Bonne Bay -- a small fjord on the west coast of Newfoundland at the base of the Great Northern Peninsula and in the heart of Gros Morne National Park -- is ecologically unique. It has a very wide number of marine habitats and species, ranging from sub-arctic to temperate. In 1969, because of this, the BBMS was established to take advantage of the exciting opportunities for marine research that it presented; at that time, it carried out research and training in marine biology. In 2003, with funding from the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency (ACOA), the province and Memorial University, the new station was transformed into a community-partnered institution with a formal mandate for public outreach. The new BBMS and its mandate were designed to support the development of the local economy, including tourism. As a result, the BBMS now offers a marine ecology field school with multiple courses that run between April and September. In 2011 it attracted almost 11,000 visitors who came to tour the visitors centre
