ACR-GNY | Association for Conflict Resolution of Greater New York

Congratulations to New York State Dispute Resolution Association, Inc. (NYSDRA) on their successful 2024 Annual Conference! ACR-GNY is proud to support their work as a sponsor. It was wonderful seeing so many familiar faces at some excellent and informative sessions (including one by our own President-elect, Nick Pozek!).

Exciting news! For the first time since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, we are co-hosting an 🎉IN-PERSON🎉 Roundtable Breakfast Discussion with our partners at the Dispute Resolution Center at John Jay College (CUNY)! Join us for ☕breakfast and 🤝networking at 8:00am and hear a fantastic presentation on Peace, Conflict and the Everyday by Peter Dixon at 8:30am. We can't wait to see you there! To register and find more details, click here: https://lnkd.in/eifxXscf This in-person talk will draw from research that focuses on understanding how people affected by violence experience and define peace and conflict in their daily lives—and what makes these everyday understandings more or less relevant for broader policy processes. It will also address methodological and ethical questions about how to center affected and researched communities so that the research process can be less extractive and more productive for those involved.
