Cardozo Journal of Conflict Resolution
Abstract
Originally prepared as a speech for the Oregon Mediation Conference, November 2011, the following has been modified for a wider audience concerned about the role of mediators and the mediation movement in relation to the Occupy Wall Street Movement ("OWS"). The author's intent is to provide a context for supporting the "courageous conversations" (theme of the Oregon Mediation Association Conference) of OWS by mediation and change management experts. The following was written a month after the Oregon Mediation Association speech and reflects comments made to the author to elaborate on the mediating modalities that might be useful to both OWS and public officials. The request by the Editor-in-Chief of the Cardozo Journal of Conflict Resolution to expand on the original speech for publication provided the opportunity to incorporate these points as noted in the concluding pages.
