From time to time for my non-Twittering readers, I round up the articles and news stories I’ve microblogged about on Twitter. Here’s the latest batch of tasty thought-snacks:
- Georgia court “deregisters” mediator for serious ethical lapses, including violation of confidentiality, thanks to mediator and blogger Chris Annunziata.
- Browsing the disputed web – Firefox extensions to uncover alternative viewpoints via Campus-ADR Weblog.
- A useful collection of video clips for trainers and teachers for lessons about communication, conflict resolution, negotiation, or leadership, thanks to Daniel Horsey.
- Superb PDF download: “The One Minute Manager Prepares for Mediation: A Multidisciplinary Approach to Negotiation Preparation” by Donald R. Philbin, Jr., with a hat tip to Geoff Sharp.
- Food industry’s answer to Big Tobacco – controlling America’s brain to influence food consumption.
- Stressed men but not stressed women more likely to gamble, take risks, according to study.
- Estate planning in a digital age – When you’re dead, how will your loved ones break your passwords?
- If you purchased the original edition of Predictably Irrational, the publisher will email you subsequent new material in PDF.
- For anyone interested in participatory democracy, here’s an outstanding post on John Folk-Williams’s blog Cross Collaborate on success in deliberative democracy
- Honoring collaboration: community-based work and the importance of being integrative, on Neuroanthropology.
- Evidence of gender bias against women…by women? A dramatic study from the theatre world, via Work Matters.
- The legalese hall of shame: a collection of impenetrable legal prose, thanks to Set in Style.
- Even with the familiar, we’re hopeless at noticing change – test yourself with these images of a U.S. dime, on Cognitive Daily.
- Put conflict resolution on United Nations climate change conference agenda, via Victoria Pynchon’s Settle It Now.
- Walk a mile in my shoes: understanding empathy through spatial metaphors, via Science Daily.
- Rhythms of conversation – how do different cultures take turns to talk?, on Not Exactly Rocket Science.
The climate change article is indeed masterfully written but not by me — by the authors Gregg Walker, Tina Monber and Kenneth Cloke of Mediators Beyond Borders and Jens Emborg, Mie Marcussen, Lone Clausen and Biveke Vindelov of Nordict Mediators, all of whom are credited in my post but there is a “by Victoria Pynchon” heading at mediate.com which I regret & will ask Jim Melamed to replace. I was asked to post this article, which I did. Right now I’m going back to put the names of the authors at the top rather than the bottom since I see in my haste to post it, I misled my readers and those at mediate.com as well. Best, Vickie
Vickie, thanks for the correction. I’m correcting it in this post as well. Cheers!
Thank you, Diane -
I’m honored to be in such good company. But I also want to thank you putting together a resource like this. You always manage to find things I miss.
John
