Some Background on the Collection

Back in 1996, a meeting was held for faculty and coordinators of Graduate Programs in dispute resolution. During this meeting, the group agreed to work together to make available more examples of syllabi and other teaching materials. Juliana Birkhoff shouldered the task of gathering and sorting syllabi which were then published in a spiral-bound volume by the National Institute for Dispute Resolution (see Birkhoff, Juliana, ed., Conflict Resolution Syllabi Anthology 1997 , NIDR, the National Institute for Dispute Resolution 1997). Two editions of the collection were published.

However, NIDR's merger with NAME (forming CRENet) which then subsequently merged with several other groups to form the Association for Conflict Resolution, resulted in the end of the publication's availability in print. Fortunately, CRENet and ACR staff and board members approved the posting of the syllabi collection here at Campus-adr.org, so that they will remain available to the public. New syllabi will be added over time.
