I just discovered this website, which includes interviews with experienced mediators on a variety of topics (and also has written transcripts of all interviews). A very interesting tool for new and experienced mediators, and also trainers.

New ADR academic opportunity
Just seen in the inbox, an invitation to submit and article and attend a scholarship round-table at Washington University Negotiation & Dispute Resolution Program
Dear friends –
Washington University Negotiation & Dispute Resolution Program will host a scholarship roundtable Friday, November 15, 2013, focused on “New Directions in Global Negotiation & Dispute Resolution,” in conjunction with the Whitney R. Harris World Law Institute. Papers will be published in the spring volume of the Washington University Journal of Law & Policy. There are openings for 2-3 additional articles. If you have an article in progress in this area, please submit an abstract for publication consideration of at least one page (or more) by September 1, 2013.
The Negotiation & Dispute Resolution Program hosts biannual “New Directions” roundtables that bring together academics and practitioners at the forefront of negotiation and dispute resolution scholarship, teaching, and practice, with the goal of generating cutting-edge scholarship in the field. Articles published in the “New Directions” series in the past three years are listed below and can be accessed on line at: http://law.wustl.edu/journal/pages.aspx?ID=703 Frequently, the articles have drawn on the intersection of clinical and dispute resolution theory and practice.
Whether you are publishing in the upcoming volume or not, we welcome you to participate. We hope you will join us!
Best,
Karen
