Leading Practitioners Offer Insights
Mediate.com recently posted a series of short videos presenting insights from leading practitioners about different aspects of ADR practice. Examples of videos most relevant to the EPP section include:
- Juliana Birkhoff explaining how her dissertation demonstrates mediation is
in fact a field and that what is uniting among experienced mediators is
the concept of power. - Greg Bourne talking about being a more directive mediator in public policy
and environmental disputes where the parties want to move forward as
quickly as possible. - Gail Bingham sharing her views on how up-and-coming mediators should
start mediating from the very beginning, involving all the parties in an
assessment or diagnosis of the dispute. - Susan Carpenter sharing the concerns she has for the field of public
policy mediation including training, use of concepts, and lack of
sharing knowledge.
