Description

This is the first book about mediation and popular culture. This book examines mediation topics such as impartiality, self-determination and fair outcomes through popular culture lenses.



In Mediation and Popular Culture, Jennifer L. Schulz weaves together insights from how mediation is portrayed in TV and movies, prodigious research on mediation practice, ethics, and theory, and a discussion of the practical choices that mediators face every day of their working lives. The result is an enjoyable, thought provoking, creative and very useful discussion of the defining characteristics of mediation. For mediators who want to understand the gap between what the public expects of us and what we actually deliver, this is essential reading.Bernie Mayer, Ph.D., Professor of Conflict Studies, Negotiation and Conflict Resolution (NCR) Program, Creighton University. Author of The Conflict Paradox and The Dynamics of Conflict.

Dr. Schulz has written an interesting and impressive book. Mediation & Popular Culture brings together theory, practice, gender insights and popular culture in order to highlight the differences between how we imagine mediation and how it is actually practiced. I highly recommend it.

Mediation & Popular Culture provides a valuable lens to understand messages about mediation sent to the general public, which can affect how disputants react to mediation in real life. Analyzing films and television programs, empirical and other scholarly literature, and her own experience as a mediator, Jennifer L. Schulz shows that both the popular media and the espoused theory of the mediation field distort the reality of mediation. In doing so, she presents a thoughtful, interesting and more realistic portrait of mediation as it actually is practiced.
