Check out this awesome work by Dyuti Jha and Ryan Funkhouser! So lucky to be surrounded by these excellent scholars (and friends!) here at Purdue!
I am thrilled to share that a paper by Ryan Funkhouser and I has finally come out as a chapter in the Routledge Handbook of Conflict and Peach Communication. Here we provide a robust overview of research at the intersection of communication, resilience, and peacebuilding.
