9: Web Resource Not Good for Your Career  citation  webpage
Despite the rhetoric of the dispute resolution field, many of the roles professionals play in both academia and practice now seem constrained by career issues. Many dispute resolution jobs almost seem structured to frustrate the ability of practitioners to adjust practice to new thinking about conflict resolution, while academic careers seem virtually designed to repel efforts by academics to ground new theories and research in the "real world." In this brief column, the pressures of the mechanics between researchers and practitioners shall be discussed in terms of the reactions of role players in three simulations which Theory-to-Practice project members organized and presented at three major conferences in 1997.
