Ellen Dissanayake’s ideas about the psychobiological necessity of the arts have been influenced by her several lives as an undergraduate music major, the wife of a research zoologist, the wife of a Sri Lankan professor, a resident (for sixteen years) of several non-Western countries, and hours of reading in libraries, from Oxford, to the Library of Congress, to the Universities of Ibadan (Nigeria), Peradeniya (Sri Lanka) and Papua New Guinea. This unconventional background outside of Western academia has led to three books, more than a hundred scholarly and general articles, and nearly 150 talks to a variety of national and international audiences.
