Meet Swedish Professor Gudrun Dahl who returned to the field of Oromo studies after a 20 years break and spoke at the 57th conference of the African Studies Association on the Oromo philophy of "nagaa" (peace) and environmental issues. She loves the Oromo unconditionally. She has important reflections to offer after two decades of absence. Although she is not in a position to do fieldwork as she did in the 1970s among Orma and in Isiolo in northern Kenya, she is monitoring websites to get updates and critiques online resources. She proposed how important it is to put together online repository of publications in a form of bibliogrpahy or database accessible to researchers of Oromo past and present.
