*About the Keynote Speaker:
Dr. Brian Jarrett is a Professor and Chair of the Department on Negotiation, Conflict Resolution, & Peacebuilding Program at California State University Dominguez Hills. Dr. Jarrett is a lawyer and professional mediator and arbitrator in both the United States and Canada. He also holds a Ph.D. in Sociology. His interests include Mediation, Arbitration Dispute Systems Design (DSD), Restorative Practices and Therapeutic Jurisprudence (TJ). In recent years he has originated work in Integral Mediation, which promotes interdisciplinary practices in mediation. His practice ranges from work with local communities to international organizations. In both his written work and classroom teaching, Professor Jarrett works to bridge theory and practice in the field of Dispute Resolution. Dr. Jarrett’s talk will be about the sociological aspects, and how the professions and guilds are shaped, and how mediation is
subject to some of these “forces” as a “field”. Will discuss the field theory of sociology by Pierre Bourdie.
