Hello!

The 97th National Communication Conven-

tion is quickly approaching, and I am excited

for our division to be gathering again. This

year, in addition to our business meeting, we

will be sponsoring ten panels. Five additional

panels will be co-sponsored with the conven-

tion theme group, ―Voice.‖ Regardless of

what area of peace and conflict communication you are studying, there should be a panel

for everyone.

We have four papers featured in our top paper panel, each provides a unique insight into peace and conflict studies. While Kathleen J. Krone and Sarah Steimel explore how inter-

cultural conflict is negotiated between Chinese and American managers, Stephanie No-

rander and Courtney E. Cole discuss how focus of gender in peace and conflict work con-

ducted by a U.S.- based organization in Sierra Leone and a Swedish-based organization

located in a several different regions. Rachel A. Stohr takes a rhetorical approach and

draws upon feminist critiques of liberalism to reimagine citizenship, and Elaine M. Wong,

Michael Haselhuhn, and Laura Kray examine the motivations behind counternarratives to

draw conclusions on how to encourage a generation that favors narratives over counternar-

ratives in the negotiation process.

For the Peace and Conflict Communication Division, this year‘s theme of ―Voice‖ is of

vital importance. Regardless of whether we are studying an individual‘s voice in an inter-

personal conflict or a group‘s voice in an international interaction, hearing each side of a

dispute is necessary to promoting civic discourse and resolving conflict. Without the pres-

ence of voice, we lose that which is sacred about our field and specifically our division.

Best of luck in your preparation for the conference, and I look forward to seeing you in

New Orleans!

Facilitating Voice in Restorative Justice

12:30 PM -1:45 PM

New Orleans Marriott

Room: Balcony J - Fourth Floor Restorative justice interventions represent a unique approach to enacting justice that fore-

grounds the importance of respectful dialogue between individuals or groups in the midst of

hurtful or difficult situations. This session explores the practices, processes, and problems of

facilitating and enacting restorative justice at the organizational, societal, and international

levels. These papers highlight the voices of facilitators and how those voices shape the multi

-vocal processes of restorative justice.

Giving Voice to Peacebuilding in Communication: An Interactive Roundtable

3:30 PM -4:45 PM

Thu, 11/17: 3:30 PM - 4:45 PM

New Orleans Marriott

Room: Galvez - Fifth Floor

This interactive roundtable focuses on peacebuilding, which can be viewed as a long-term

commitment to a process of transforming relationships and resources, including structures

and institutions, so they are oriented toward sustainable peace and justice. We believe that

communication scholars and practitioners who study culture and communication, who ex-

amine situated conduct in conflict, and who critique the impact of competing histories, insti-

tutional discourses and policies in conflict, are well positioned to contribute to the study and

practice of peacebuilding. Our session will revolve around an interactive discussion that is

based on position papers that have been circulated prior to the conference. Each position

paper addresses a key question about peacebuilding in communication. Audience participa-

tion will be encouraged.

Introducing the PCCD Newsletter

Welcome to the first edition of the PCCD Newsletter! During

the Division‘s last business meeting in San Francisco, the

prospect of having a newsletter that caters to the interests of

PCCD members was raised. As we chatted subsequently, we

began to envision a letter that not only updates members on

one another‘s accomplishments but also helps us to find re-

sources that can further our many and diverse interests. We

wanted a letter that was both informative and useful. This letter is the first step along that

journey.

―Pax‖ is a creation of a number of people working hard behind the scenes to bring you infor-

mation that we hope will advance your professional pursuits. In the two editions published

yearly, you will find information on the upcoming conference, research opportunities, calls

for manuscripts, grant opportunities, training resources, colleague‘s recent publications,

news and notes from your fellow Division members, and much more. We‘re excited about

the advent of this letter, and hope that it is a useful resource for you.

If you have information to share, please feel free to send that along to the newsletter editor

(Greg Paul) at [email protected].

Making Sure Every Voice is Heard: Mediation Through Different Means

8:00 AM -9:15 AM

New Orleans Marriott

Room: Balcony J - Fourth Floor Mediation is often needed regardless of whether the participants are online or in an organiza-

tion. These diverse situations often call for innovative approaches. By examining new per-

spectives in mediation, the panelists give us additional insights into resolving conflict in new

settings.

The Many Voices of Conflict Resolution: New Insights into Complex Language Choices

9:30 AM -10:45 AM

New Orleans Marriott

Room: Balcony J - Fourth Floor Resolution of conflict is voiced in various ways. Those involved with conflict experience

more complex interactions than simple settlement/non-settlement or adversarial frameworks

describe. Studying complexity of language in relationships and mediation gives us a more

complete picture of the relationship as a whole. Focusing on these complexities, presenters

share unique perspectives on communication choices of irony, resilience, restoration, and sto-

rytelling that can lead to turning points in the conflict process. Discussion will focus on new

insights for approaching conflict resolution and analyzing conflict communication.

Voices of War: Examining the Rhetorical Functions of Presidential and Protest Rhetoric

11:00 AM -12:15 PM

Sheraton New Orleans

Room: Salon 829 - Eighth Floor

The early 21st century, like much of the 20th, has been dominated by American presidential

action related to foreign military engagement. The justifications, language, and policy outlines

of American presidents related to military action have represented a unique consistency during

that period. Yet, the panel also considers the fact that the 21st century requires a globally en-

gaged American president, as the implications to US actions reverberate worldwide. The

emerging citizen uprising in the Middle East in the midst of an enhanced outline of US foreign

engagement creates a fresh landscape for the surfacing of political voices. Therefore, this

panel examines a variety of different rhetorical actions that have shaped presidential and pro-

test "voices" of war.

Voice in International Security: On Diplomacy and Propaganda, Convergent Communi-

cation in Peace and Conflict through Operators, Scholars, Public Servants, and Private

Sector Practitioners

11:00 AM -12:15 PM

New Orleans Marriott

Room: Mardi Gras B - Third Floor

The popular uprising in Egypt indisputably demonstrates convergence in communication,

from rhetoric through propaganda to diplomacy, and across media including Web2.0 plat-

forms. Voices now echo through Web 2.0 electrons from Wisconsin to Tripoli. Likewise

clamor can be heard from pronouncements of nations such as China, and non-state actors like

shootings at Frankfurt Airport. This cross-disciplinary panel examines voice in international

security.

Identifying the Available Means of Persuasion: Using Rhetoric to Make Sense of Con-

flict

12:30 PM -1:45 PM

New Orleans Marriott

Room: Balcony J - Fourth Floor

Regardless of where you look conflict can be found everywhere. However, often times when

we encounter martyrs, genocide, shootings, and religion we are left overwhelmed by the

hostility that exists. Through the use of a rhetorical lens, the panelists dissect the discord.

Nurturing Voices of Civility and Compassion

12:30 PM -1:45 PM

Sheraton New Orleans

Room: Salon 828 - Eighth Floor How can we engage students and one another to foster inner and outer peace and civil inter-

action? This panel provides options for teaching effective civil and compassionate commu-

nication in a variety of classes. Each panelist will present an overview of the goals and pur-

pose of her class, as well as a more in-depth demonstration of a sample assignment or exer-

cise, providing an opportunity for dialogue about the purposes and pleasures of civil and

compassionate communication.

The Revolution Might Be Televised: Examining the Influence of Media Outlets on Po-

litical Conflicts

9:30 AM -10:45 AM

New Orleans Marriott

Room: Balcony J - Fourth Floor The rise of media has had a profound influence over the way in which we receive and per-

ceive communication. Drawing from media types that range from cellular phones to newspa-

pers to television, this panel explores the role played by these mediums in times of conflict.

Voices for Peace in the Middle East and South Africa

12:30 PM -1:45 PM

Sheraton New Orleans

Room: Rhythms III - Second Floor

This program inludes ethnographic, narrative, multimeda and interpersonal analyses of find-

ing a voice--through the processes of storytelling, artistic and activist performances, forgive-

ness, and reconciliation--for peacebuilding in the Middle East and South Africa.

Speaking in Harmony: Using Cultural Differences to Understand Conflict

9:30 AM -10:45 AM

New Orleans Marriott

Room: Preservation Hall 3 - Second Floor

Variations in communication styles whether from a singular culture or multiple countries of-

ten creates tension. Resolving these differences often must move beyond favoring one ap-

proach. This panel considers various perspectives in the peace building process in order to

incorporate multiple voices.

Giving Voice to Practice and Reflection in Mediation Work

11:00 AM -12:15 PM

New Orleans Marriott

Room: Preservation Hall 1 - Second Floor This session focuses on the important communication process of giving voice in mediation

work. Particularly, the range of paper topics highlights the dynamic nature of using practice

and reflection to strengthen voices in conflict mediation in both planning and engaging proc-

ess. Each of the papers provides empirical analysis of reflections to improve the mediation

practice environment from beginner experiences, to preparing for challenging cases, to man-

aging difficult messages, to assessing key elements of transformative mediation processes.

Arab Revolution Conference (17-18 March, Melbourne) - This conference is a welcome

opportunity to revisit the Arab revolution on its first anniversary. The fall of the government

in Tunisia in January 2011 was soon followed by the departure of President Hosni Mubarak

in Egypt. The popular uprising spread rapidly to other Arab states, threatening entrenched

regimes and the status quo. This popular uprising has challenged authoritarian rule and high-

lighted the widespread desire for political accountability and responsible government. Yet it

may be premature to celebrate the 'Arab Spring' as heralding democracy to the region. De-

mocracy in the Middle East remains a difficult and long-term project. http://

Conference Announcement

Violence Against Women in Peace and War - Women's International League for Peace

and Freedom (WILPF) - Date: 23 November 2011. Leicester Women's International League

for Peace and Freedom (WILPF) invites you to this conference to critically explore the inter-

sections of violence against women both in times of peace and conflict. It will focus nationally

and internationally and aims to build on debates amongst feminists, academics and activists.

The starting point is the recognition that violence against women exists at different levels and

from the local to the global. The conference marks the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender

Violence with this years‘ theme – From Peace in the Home to Peace in the World: Let‘s Chal-

lenge Militarism and End Violence Against Women! Keynote speaker: Cynthia Cockburn -

Workshops in Peace & Conflict

The Public Conversations Project‘s unique, experiential workshops equip people from all

fields with knowledge, skills and tools for preventing and transforming deep conflict. This

fall, we are offering five workshops in different locales around the nation, each at an afford-

able cost. Whether you‘re experiencing this approach for the first time or adding to your skill

set as a seasoned professional, our workshops offer powerful learning opportunities. PCP's

work is grounded in the belief that better communication and relationships are critical to long-

lasting amelioration of conflicts that involve identities, core values, and worldviews. PCP has

adopted ideas and practices from family therapy and other disciplines to enhance communica-

tion and reduce destructive conflict. Dialogue transforms communication and relationships in

ways that make other kinds of change possible. In many conflicts, action can not be taken

without first improving mutual understanding and relationships and reducing stereotyping and

demonization. Dialogue can lay the groundwork for making decisions or significant collabora-

tive actions.

Our mission is to produce social change by helping marginalized communities claim their

rights. This is done by partnering with advocates that represent these communities. We be-

lieve strongly that change is best achieved by those who are most directly affected. The Ad-

vocacy Project relies heavily on volunteers. We recruit graduate students to serve abroad in

our fellowship program and also recruit interns for the Washington office.

In the summer of 2009, 45 Peace Fellows were deployed in the field. In addition to these

field volunteers, 17 interns from eight universities worked at AP throughout the year and

made important contributions. In the process, they gained valuable first-hand experience.

Purpose Statement: The purpose of this Division shall be to promote teaching, research and

practice by communication scholars and professional practitioners toward the understanding,

management, and resolution of disputes at all levels: intrapersonal, interpersonal, and inter-

group in personal, community, national, and international contexts.

Mission Statement: The mission of the Peace and Conflict Communication Division is to

promote, through scholarship, a greater understanding of how communication may be used

for the advancement of peace. Specifically, the Division is interested in, but not limited to,

examination of conflict resolution methods such as mediation, negotiation, and other com-

municative practices to bring an understanding between conflicting parties with the end goal

of peaceful conflict resolution. The Division seeks input from all interested practitioners and

scholars within NCA and will consider for scheduling at NCA conventions studies of com-

munication and peace using any methodology. (Bruce McKinney, October, 2001)

The John ―Sam‖ Keltner Fund was created to honor the memory of the fund‘s namesake as

the founder of the Peace and Conflict Communication Division and to recognize his work in

promoting conflict resolution through nonviolence. In connection with this fund, the Keltner

Award is given annually to the Top Student Paper submitted to the Division. This award and

the fund itself is promoted and made possible through gifts of PCCD members.

Please consider giving to the Keltner Fund. Your gift not only is a demonstration of your

commitment to the Division and Sam‘s legacy, but also is a way to support and recognize

the efforts of the next generation of scholars. To make a donation, please contact Merci

Decker at [email protected].
