Campus Conflict Resolution Network NewsletterDecember 15, 2004 “Knowledge, theory, and practice: Bringing UM together to advance positive resolution strategies." In this issue:
1. CCRN Steering Committee for 2005 A six-member steering committee has agreed to make plans for the Network for the coming year. They are:
I want to express my gratitude to each of them for making time in VERY busy schedules to do this work. Of particular note: Nick has dissertation research and teaching responsibilities to carry. Fernando has a new job as mediator in the Health System – AND a brand new baby boy. Carmen, formerly ADR coordinator at OSCR, is now in a demanding position in the hospital’s social work department. Jim and Aaron are new this year on the task force, and we really needed them and their energy.
The University’s budget cutting has affected many of us, and among other things, it has reduced our ability (here at Mediation Services) to provide paid staff support for the Network. So your steering committee has been meeting this fall to determine how best to keep the network alive. Early in 2005, we hope to begin a campus dialogue about the uses of ADR on this campus – why we do what we do, and what informs our practice. In addition, during Winter and Spring Terms we will again offer some brown-bag lunch presentations, and will let you know as soon as they are scheduled. If you know of a speaker you would like to hear, or a book you would like to discuss, please write to us at ccrn_steering@umich.edu.

4. Recommended Books, movies and webs Recommended Movie: “Farmingville” presented by PBS "Farmingville" meticulously reveals the underlying forces, and the human impact, of what has become the largest influx of Mexican workers in U.S. history — a migration that economic globalization is carrying beyond border areas and major cities and into the small cities and towns of America. The filmmakers spent nearly a year in Farmingville, talking to all sides and filming the conflict as it unfolded in legal and political maneuverings, community organizing, vigilante action and, most tragically, violence. "Farmingville" achieves a remarkable intimacy with many of the principal players in the town's drama, who share their personal hopes and fears, revealing just how profoundly local all politics, even global politics, are. One of the Filmmakers, Carlos Sandoval is a retired lawyer who picked this media in which to fairly look at a global issue and offer all sides of the story. A great watch for mediators or would be mediators the movie itself becomes the mediation process, the listening ear and an unbiased look at what is occurring. http://www.pbs.org/pov/pov2004/farmingville/about.html
“This just out.” Ten years of experience and reflection have honed the insight and understanding of Bob Bush and Joe Folger, and they have teamed up again to publish a new edition of this classic. One person’s quick summary: they are both less negative about other types of mediation, and more descriptive of what actually goes on in transformative work, than they were able to be in the first edition. Empowerment and recognition, the two tools of this art, come alive in this edition. Recommended Website: http://www.campus-adr.org/ If you haven’t visited this FIPSE supported website, you are in for a treat. The site was designed and produced by William Warters, Associate Director, Program on Mediating Theory and Democratic Systems, Wayne State University, Urban Labor and Metropolitan Affairs.
