ADRIC 2021: Culture, Conflict and Confluence – A Webinar Series

Diversity & Inclusion Series

Technology and Culture–Sensitive ADR

Recorded October 7, 2021 (1.5 hours).  Click here to view the recording.

 

Attempts to practice standard (Western) mediation in traditional ethnic communities, for instance in sub-Saharan Africa or in Israel, have failed owing to the incompatibility of such mediation practices with the communities’ customs and traditions.

These traditional ethnic communities are more familiar with their traditional conflict resolution practices which they have come to accept as legitimate dispute resolution processes consistent with their value systems, policies, ideologies, ideas of justice, morality and other aspects of their cultures.

This webinar will address attempts at creating interface models between the standard (Western) mediation systems and these traditional conflict resolution practices and explore the prospect of using technology to implement such interface models. The goal of this webinar is to ensure that mediators are sensitive and competent when dealing with disputes among traditional ethnic communities.
