  • Dr Ron McCoy>>> Daniele Viliunas

    Dr. Daniele Viliunas is co-ordinator for MAPW Queensland (a state branch of the Australian affiliate) and IPPNW Regional Vice-President for Southeast Asia-Pacific. She has taught at both secondary and post-graduate level, in Arts, Science, Environmental and Psychological Medicine; performed regular medical segments on radio and television; served on the Psychologists Board of Queensland, consulted to the Medical Board of Queensland, and provided mentoring and professional supervision.

    These experiences have all facilitated her appreciation of the subtlety and potency of legitimate authority and its capacity to influence in education and change. Very different personal and cultural understandings of the interplay of heart, mind, spirit, society and place are everywhere. Yet the universality of human experience remains a fundamental motivator in her work with IPPNW.
