Articles and Reports I have written on a variety of conflict-related topics

Mediation and Emotions
'Mediation and emotions : perception and regulation.’ in The Emotional Dynamics of Law and Legal Discourse. Stannard, J & Conway, (eds) Oxford, 2016, p. 211-239. 

This chapter, written with my former PhD student Laurel Farrington, examines emotion in mediation and explains the important role of empathy in dealing with conflict.

Workplace Bullying
‘Do You See What I’m Dealing With Here? Vicious Circles in Conflict’ Journal of Mediation and Applied Conflict Analysis, 1 (2) 2013, p. 3. 

I apply ideas from the field of social psychology to an example of workplace bullying, explaining why anti-bullying policies can make matters worse. In the right circumstances the kind of safe, face-to-face conversation offered by mediation may lead to better, more enduring outcomes for victims.

Mediation in Scotland
‘Scotland’ – in EU Mediation Law Handbook: Regulatory Robustness Ratings for Mediation Regimes. Alexander, N., Walsh, S. & Svatos, M. (eds.). Alphen aan den Rijn, Netherlands, 2017, p. 659-695. 

This chapter sets out the legal and regulatory framework for mediation in Scotland, explaining where to find practical information about various types of mediation.
