Time: 4:30pm until 6:00pm
Join SHARON SUTHERLAND as she updates and expands upon her very popular ADRIC conference presentation on mediation on television.
Professor Sutherland explores the rise of mediation on television as a means to examine increasing public awareness of mediation and shifting public perceptions of mediation and mediators. While Professor Sutherland devotes too much time to watching television, she definitely can't watch everything and therefore welcomes any and all help in identifying television episodes and series that feature mediation and mediators. She encourages you to email her with suggestions at coreclinic1@gmail.com.
