Book SynopsisAs the field of conflict analysis and resolution continues to grow, scholars and practitioners increasingly recognize that we can learn from one another. Theory must be informed by practice and practice must draw on sound theory.
Trade Review“[Conflict Resolution and the Scholarship of Engagement] provides us with insightful examples of town-gown relationships at the local as well as global level that benefit both the community and the university. [It] shows us how research projects can be used to build sustainable bridges and working partnerships through the Scholarship of Engagement.”– Dr Linda M. Johnston, Executive Director, Siegel Institute for Leadership, Ethics and Character, Kennesaw State University“. . . In their groundbreaking work, [the editors] build the connection between conflict resolution theory and practice and the scholarship of engagement . . . By exploring the relationships between the discipline and practices of conflict resolution and the principles and practices of engagement, these scholars employ a focus that strengthens both fields. Even more important than its bolstering of scholarship, this approach offers communities the benefits of enhanced participation in the problem-solving process. Kudos to the scholars for their pioneering efforts.”– Lorilee R. Sandmann, PhD, Professor and Program Chair, Department of Lifelong Education, Administration, and Policy, University of Georgia
