Gini Nelson’s Engaging Conflicts

“Most people in our line of work won’t be in “the field” of professional conflict resolution or conflict transformation at all. They will have other jobs and be in other professions where they mainstream our practices into their work, and this is a good thing.” — Jayne Docherty

Jayne is professor of conflict studies at the Center for Justice and Peacebuilding at Eastern Mennonite University. She is author of Learning Lessons from Waco: When the Parties Bring Their Gods to the Negotiation Table, and The Little Book of Strategic Negotiation: Negotiating During Turbulent Times. Her particular interests include the challenges communities and organizations face experiencing sudden changes demanding rapid adaptation. If you would like a copy of her interview, and are not signed up for the newsletter (which you can do in the sidebar on the right!), email me this week at engagingconflicts@gmail.com with Jayne Docherty in the subject line and I’ll email it to you.

I previously posted about one of Jayne’s articles in the Negotiator’s Fieldbook, The Unstated Models In Our Minds, here. I’ll post about her three other chapters shortly.
