Conflict Resolution and the Scholarship of Engagement: Partnerships Transforming

Description: Conflict Resolution and the Scholarship of Engagement by Cheryl Lynn Duckworth, Consuelo Doria Kelley As 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. FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description As 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. Above and beyond this lies a further recognition: without at least attempting to actually engage and transform entrenched conflicts, our field cannot hope to achieve its potential. We will merely remain in a more diverse, multi-disciplinary ivory tower. This edition breaks new ground in explicitly connecting the Scholarship of Engagement to the work of conflict resolution professionals including those in the academy, those in the field, and those who refuse to choose between the two. The text explores a wide variety of examples of, and thinking on, the Scholarship of Engagement from participatory action research to peace education, and from genocide prevention to community mediation and transitional justice.

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 Long Description As the field of conflict analysis and resolution continues to grow, scholars and practitioners increasingly recognize that we can learn from one another.
