ACR-GNY & CUNY Dispute Resolution Center at John Jay College present


Star Wars, Mediation, and Conflict Resolution



May the Fourth is marked by millions of Star Wars fans around the world as the saga's unofficial day of celebration. What better day for a Roundtable Breakfast focused on Star Wars, mediation, and conflict resolution?


In this session, Jen Reynolds and Noam Ebner, co-editors of the Star Wars and Conflict Resolution: There Are Alternatives to Fighting (2022, DRI Press) will draw connections between Star Wars and mediation practice, and discuss the benefits of doing so for the conflict resolution field. Through exploring Star Wars "case studies" and the questions and challenges they raise, participants will gain new insights into mediation -- whether in a galaxy far, far away, or one much closer to home. 


Join us for a fun and stimulating session exploring the complexities of mediation and conflict resolution through one of the most beloved cultural narratives of our time…and May the Fourth be With You!
