 , Call for Workshop Proposals
DESCRIPTION:<a href=\"http://www.acrnet.org/conferences/ac10/index1st%
 20draft.htm\" target=\"_blank\">ACR 10th Annual Conference</a>\n<b>\nM
 any Paths: One Destination</b>\n\nSeptember 1-4, 2010\n\nChicago , Ill
 inois\n\nIn 2010, ACR will celebrate its 10th Annual Conference. Over 
 the past 10 years, we as a community have seen an evolving and growing
  need for high quality conflict resolution, from the international to 
 the interpersonal level. ACR’s 10th Annual Conference provides the o
 pportunity to step back and reflect on changes witnessed, chal­lenges
  met, and prospects for the future. Our 2010 Conference is an excellen
 t time to celebrate the essence of ACR, an organization that embraces 
 and acknowledges the full spectrum of peaceful conflict reso­lution a
 nd recognizes the value of cross-disciplinary and cross-cultural conne
 ctions to enhance conflict resolution choices universally. ACR em­bod
 ies \"Many Paths: One Destination,\" this year’s conference theme.\n
 \nThis theme celebrates the oneness, the unity, the common goal we sha
 re in reaching the One Destination: Peaceful Conflict Resolu­tion. Th
 e theme recognizes the connections within and across our practice area
 s, Sections and Chapters, and the valuable partnerships created within
  professions such as family services, legal, health care, education, b
 usiness and many others.\n\n<b>When thinking about proposals for the 2
 010 conference, consider the theme and how ACR represents the many pat
 hs that we travel. We invite proposals that highlight</b>:\n\n· Simil
 arities and possibilities for relationships across Sections, illus­tr
 ating the interconnectedness of our work and our field\n· Cutting edg
 e practices and programs that are successful, unique and/or replicable
 \n· Research areas that benefit the field and beyond: what are the co
 n­nections between theory and practice? What research findings will h
 elp us reach our destination?\n· Theoretical and philosophical underp
 inning of conflict and its resolution\n· Advanced techniques and skil
 l building\n\nIn addition to ACR's traditional 60 minute facilitated d
 iscussions on Diversity &amp; Equity, proposals are invited for 90 min
 ute mainstream track sessions on research, skill building and practice
  enhancements in resolving disputes among diverse and underserved clie
 ntele. We invite proposals on racism, sexism, ageism, and cross cultur
 al issues.\n\nOur hope is that the proposals received will enable conf
 erence attendees to discover new paths and deepen their understanding 
 of familiar ones all pointing to one destination: peaceful conflict re
 solution.\n\n<b>The deadline for submission is 11pm (Eastern Standard 
 Time) on Wednesday, December 2, 2009.</b>\n\nFor more information visi
