New Brauer Exhibits Beginning Dec. 3, Valparaiso University's Brauer Museum of Art will feature "Recent Views of an Inner World: Paintings by Richard Loving" and "Boonville: Photographs by Timothy Briner." Both exhibits will be featured throughout the winter and are on display until Mar. 20. The upcoming exhibit will feature 21 paintings by Richard Loving, an abstract artist from Chicago. The Brauer's exhibition will allow patrons to view the development of Loving's style over the past five years, and will also feature some of his newer works that confront and incorporate the cycle of nature. Loving is known for having significant influence on contemporary Chicago artists, and for having successfully bridged the abstraction and imagism styles of painting during the past 40 years. His artwork has been featured at numerous galleries in the Chicagoland area and across the country, and is held in the collections of many museums and corporations. Timothy Briner's photography exhibit will also be featured at the Brauer. His series, "Boonville," is a collection of photo­ graphs that recounts Briner's journey across the United States to towns named Boonville. Briner visited six states over an eleven month period during 2007-2008. A graduate of Ches­ terton High School, Briner attempts to expose the common­ alities of the American struggle in each town while capturing themes of everyday life. The museum is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday, Thursday and Friday; 10 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. Wednesday, and noon to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday during the academic year. Admission to the museum is free. Julefest Valparaiso University will host the annual Julefest concert 4 p.m. Dec.5 in the Valparaiso University Center for the Arts' University Theater. The pops concert will feature VU's Luce Concert Band as well as the Community/University Concert Band, both under the direction of Jeffrey Scott Doebler. Ad­ mission is free and the event is open to the public.

  • ABSTRACT Title of Thesis: WHEN APOLOGIES WORK
    ABSTRACT Title of thesis: WHEN APOLOGIES WORK: THE BENEFITS OF MATCHING APOLOGY CONTENT TO VICTIMS AND CONTEXT Ryan Fehr, Master of Arts, 2007 Thesis Directed by: Dr. Michele Gelfand Department of Psychology Research shows that apologies are useful social tools. They help people to resolve conflict, reduce feelings of aggression, and foster forgiveness. Yet common sense tells us that all apologies are not created equal. From one to the next, they are likely to contain different verbal elements, to be offered to different people, and to be given under different circumstances. In each of these cases, an apology’s impact can be expected to change. To explore the boundaries of apology effectiveness, the current study asks four distinct questions. First, how effective are three different apology components (offers of compensation, expressions of concern, and acknowledgements of violated rules/norms) in eliciting forgiveness? Second, how does a victim’s self-construal (independent, relational, or collective) influence forgiveness of an offender? Third, does a victim’s self-construal moderate the effectiveness of different apology components? Finally, how does harm severity influence the effectiveness of long versus short apologies? To answer each of these questions, 171 undergraduate students participated in a policy capturing experiment. Regarding the role of apology components, all three components are found to positively affect forgiveness. Offers of compensation are shown to be the most effective, followed by expressions of concern and acknowledgments of violated rules/norms, respectively. Regarding the direct impact of the self, no significant effect was found. As for the moderating effect of the self on apology components, the independent self is found to strengthen the effectiveness of offers of compensation, the relational self is found to strengthen the effectiveness of both expressions of concern and acknowledgments of violated rules/norms, and the collective self is found to strengthen the effectiveness of acknowledgments of violated rules/norms.

  • Prudence Hutton: How Apology Can Promote Exemplary Practices for Reducing Special Education Disputes Breakout Session Transcript
    Prudence Hutton: How Apology Can Promote Exemplary Practices for Reducing Special Education Disputes Breakout Session Transcript PRUDENCE HUTTON: Good afternoon. I’d like to welcome everyone to the last session of the day on apology. And I want to offer the first apology. I get the view of the river in the fall. You get me and the slides. The name of the program is How Apology Can Promote Exemplary Practices for Reducing Special Education Disputes. And the word can is a very operative verb there because the premise of my presentation today is it can, it should, but it doesn’t always. And there’s an opportunity for so, so, so much more in the CADRE community with across the board for using a lot, a lot more apologies. And this is for school districts and this is for parents and students alike. I come here today as part of a journey, and I want to share some of my story so there will be an understanding of why I am so interested and compelled and passionate about apologies. I am an attorney by training. Before law school, I had two very rewarding years working in a very prominent civil rights practice. After law school, I did labor negotiations, and there I was very, very committed to labor negotiations going away from strike for a strike meant failure. I then practiced in Las Vegas in a small practice where providing government services for the clients was extremely important, and the senior partner now is the majority speaker in the U.S.

  • Maple Leaf Case Study: an Example of Crisis Management
    MAPLE LEAF CASE STUDY: AN EXAMPLE OF CRISIS MANAGEMENT By Colin P. Stevenson (plaintiffs' counsel) INTRODUCTION The first part of this paper provides an interested outsider's perspective on Maple Leaf's strategy to minimize its business and reputational damage. The paper will also deal more generally with current issues in the food processing industry in North America and the fact that consumers today are no safer than they were a year ago. Finally, this paper will consider some of the issues faced by plaintiffs' counsel if they are to work effectively with multiple legal teams in a national and highly visible class action. THE EVENTS OF AUGUST 2008 In mid August 2008 it was apparent there was a national public health tragedy involving food contamination. The Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA), which are federal agencies, were receiving reports of people becoming sick and dying from listeriosis nationwide. Although the source was not immediately identified, attention was soon focused on Maple Leaf Food's establishment #97B in Toronto. Maple Leaf Foods issued a "voluntary" recall. In other words, Maple Leaf Foods acted before a mandatory recall order was issued by CFIA. The recall was limited to 23 ready-to-eat packaged meat products. The first recall was issued on August 17, 2008. The plant was closed for what was anticipated to be four days. Maple Leaf Foods said: "We have taken a much broader approach to the recall than the actual testing has indicated we need to." (Schedule #1) This was quickly proved incorrect.

  • International Adr Conference Mediation Simulation and Panel Discussion
    INTERNATIONAL ADR CONFERENCE MEDIATION SIMULATION AND PANEL DISCUSSION INTRODUCTION The Asian-Pacific Law and Policy Journal (APLPJ) hosted a conference on International Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) entitled, “New Paradigms in Conflict Resolution: Dispute Resolution in the International Environment,” at the East-West Center, April 10-12, 2002. Over fifty ADR professionals from fourteen countries came to share their experiences, learn from each other, and work together to develop new techniques and skills in the emerging field of International ADR. Some were interested in learning how to develop or expand domestic ADR programs in their country, some to learn the nuances of inter-cultural disputes, and all to connect with other ADR professionals. A list of the attendees is available at the end of the International ADR Conference Mediation Simulation and Panel Discussion materials. Using techniques inspired by the work of Professor Jim Dator of the Hawaii Research Center for Future Studies, APLPJ developed a conference unlike most scholarly conferences. Combining “executive training” and “partnering” approaches, the participants used a realistic simulation of a complex international business and trade dispute involving private businesses and government departments from different countries, to launch discussions among the participants on model international dispute resolution systems and skills training. Rather than having a series of pre-prepared papers read to the attendees, this conference briefly introduced concepts to the entire group, and then, broke the participants into four small working groups to discuss ADR in the international environment, co-facilitated by two experienced mediators/facilitators, one from the U.S. and one from outside the U.S.
