EDITOR’S INTRODUCTION
C ongratulations to the Association for Confl ict Resolution for a won-
derful conference in Dallas-Addison, Texas!  e next conference will
be held in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, from October 3–6, 2018. Please make
plans to join us.  is is an opportunity to gain and share knowledge from

confl ict resolution processes and skills across a broad array of contexts such
as healthcare, workplace, courts, schools, elder care, commercial applica-
tions, and many more.
At this year’s conference, the Editorial Board for Confl ict Resolution
Quarterly discussed the existing need for new research-based knowledge
in various application areas including family mediation, ombuds/work-
place, and confl ict resolution education. In addition to seeking to answer
lingering questions, we discussed the importance of disseminating existing
knowledge. Toward the goal of knowledge dissemination, please check out

is edition’s articles shed light on confl ict resolution practice in many
contexts and answer key questions about the effi cacy of diff erent mediator
styles and attitudes, the need for environmental confl ict resolution by mul-
tinational oil companies, transforming collective history and identities in
the service of healing and peace, understanding diff erences in attitudes and
orientations between politicians and community leaders, and the impor-
tance of balancing competing moral values in mediation.
Happy reading!
