The Association for Conflict Resolution Greater New York Chapter (ACR-GNY) and John Jay College of Criminal Justice Present Recognizing and Responding to Shame in Mediation

This session will provide an opportunity to explore how and why shame can significantly influence the outcomes of disputes. Recognizing and responding to a sense of shame in a variety of disputes will be discussed. Examples from this talk will be drawn from Katrina Abatis’s publication, Inviting the Elephant into the Room: Culturally Oriented Mediation and Peace Practice, which was inspired by Dr. Elsheikh’s work.
