Dialog: Conflict Intervention in a Divided Nation

In the polarized political and social environment characterizing the United States at this point in time, how can conflict specialists best contribute to constructive conflict engagement?

Over the past few weeks, ADRHub has been pleased to host this online dialog featuring two of the most experienced mediators in our field, Gail Bingham and Bernie Mayer, as they engage with other professionals, students, and faculty in the field. The conversation continues! Follow along, and feel welcome to join in.
