MEDIATION IN THE CAMPUS COMMUNITY:

|
| Endorsement from the late Jim Boskey, editor of the Alternative Newsletter |
I'm pleased to announce the continued availability of this key resource from Jossey-Bass publications. The book is intentionally extremely practical in it's orientation, weaving bits of relevant theory and research about campus conflict into a practitioner's guidebook. The focus is on building a sustainable mediation program within complex organizations such as colleges and universities.
Mary Rowe, well-known dispute systems designer and Ombudsperson at MIT, notes that
"Every academic administrator will find dozens of specific ideas that will bring relief from the constant challenges of conflict. This book helps show where the conflicts come from--and how mediation and conflict resolution training can support a conflict-competent organization."
Endorsed by the Conflict Resolution in Education Network (CREnet), the book builds on the legacy of the 1985 manual Peaceful Persuasion (Girard, Rifkin and Townley) that some of you may have seen or used in the past. The 304-page oversized paperback sells for $33.00. For your information the table of contents is reproduced below.
