“Bridges and Borders in Music Therapy Community Practices: Drinking From a Deeper Well”
From January 2004-2007 Dr. Woodward was the field director for an international team of music therapists working with children and youth who had been traumatized during the Balkan wars (1990-1995). Since 2010 she has been instructing and directing music therapy programs in Canada, Ireland and the USA. Her publications, usually in narrative form, feature ecological practices in healthcare settings and the community building potential of arts-based practices in war affected regions. She has presented her humanitarian work internationally including the Ukraine, USA, Argentina, Sweden, Ireland, and Croatia. In 2007, she received Capilano University’s inaugural alumni award for her work in Bosnia. She is delighted to come full circle back to Capilano University, teaching in the very program she received her training.
