Reminder: Registration and Call for Papers for Australian Dispute Resolution Research Network Roundtable 

The Australasian Dispute Resolution Research Network is pleased to be hosting its 13th research roundtable on 27-28 November 2025 at Monash University Clayton campus, Melbourne. The roundtable is supported by the Faculty of Law at Monash University and the Australian Centre for Justice Innovation.

We are accepting paper proposal’s for the Roundtable. We welcome proposals that consider dispute resolution from a scholarly, critical and/or empirical perspective. Topics can be addressed for any disciplinary perspective and we are especially interested in interdisciplinary approaches to dispute resolution. We particularly encourage submissions from postgraduate students and early career researchers. All proposals will be considered. Papers must not have been published or submitted for publication, as the focus is work in progress.

Participation is on a self-funded basis.

Submit papers at this weblink: https://forms.gle/sNfifQPx8TrJG8cD9

A programme of events will be distributed in advance.

Please do not hesitate to come back to us for any further questions you may have, email to: adrresearchnetwork@gmail.com

We look forward to seeing you at the Roundtable.

Collaboration and ADR Community – a great new experience

Despite committing to a field which scrutinises, develops and enhances the resolution of disputes, our ADR community seems to attract more than its own fair share of conflict.

The best thing about the meeting of the ADR Network in Brisbane last week was the wonderful spirit of collaboration. What a pleasure to see outstanding ADR academics and professionals from around the country working together harmoniously to share ideas and critique each other’s ideas constructively. It was a big lesson about what we can accomplish when we model the behaviour we encourage in our writing. As a result, the publication we are planning has a theme – Challenging Professional Identities in Dispute Resolution – and a cohesion not possible without this kind of engagement.

Well done @BeckyBatagol and @rachaelfield68 for terrific organisation and leadership and thank you to all the group members for encouragement and wisdom.
