As with many others whose plans have been upended by COVID-19, the
International Association for Conflict Management (IACM) was looking forward
to researchers and practitioners from around the world joining together in
Charleston, SC. Even though the opportunity to come together in person is no
longer viable, IACM is committed to supporting the sharing of insights,
experiences, and discoveries in the areas of conflict management,
negotiation, and peacebuilding. To that end, our conference will be moving
to an online format - vIACM - which will take place July 12-15, 2020.



Moreover, given the emerging organizational, political, relational, and
cultural dynamics that have required adaptation on the fly, we aim to
provide a space where scholars and practitioners can reflect on and share
the implications of those dynamics for their teaching, research, and
practice related insights and experiences. To that end, we are inviting
submissions of novel and innovative panels, symposia and professional
development workshops that foster continued learning, growth, and progress
in these times. Consistent with the mission of IACM, topics these
submissions might explore include, for example: promoting resilience;
managing uncertainty; building community through anti-racism training,
intergroup dialogue, and other social justice efforts; negotiating in
challenging economic times; communicating social support; teaching
negotiation over distance; and negotiating organizational tensions.



IACM was founded to encourage scholars and practitioners to develop and
disseminate theory, research, and experience that can help to explain,
facilitate, and transform conflict management and peacebuilding in
interpersonal, organizational, societal, family, and international settings.



We welcome submissions from researchers and practitioners alike. Submissions
for panels/symposia and professional development workshop should contribute
new knowledge, understanding, and practice to negotiation, conflict
management, and peacebuilding. We welcome all research methods, disciplines,
and professional backgrounds. We particularly welcome submissions that:

*	Expand our understanding and skill in teaching principles of
negotiation, conflict, and peacebuilding
*	Support the development and dissemination of new teaching materials
and tools
*	Encourage innovative approaches and explore emerging frontiers and
issues in the study and practice of negotiation, conflict, and peacebuilding
*	Enhance the training/teaching of skills and concepts related to
negotiation, conflict, and peacebuilding.
*	Reflect principles of interdisciplinary collaboration and engaged
scholarship to advance knowledge,  understanding and the practice of
negotiation, conflict, and peacebuilding
*	Highlight opportunities, questions, and considerations regarding
researcher-practitioner collaboration on issues related to negotiation,
conflict, and peacebuilding



The conference submission system will be open through May 15th, 2020. You
will receive an additional email to let you know the system is open.
Proposals for panels, symposia, and professional development workshops
should not exceed 10 pages. Please indicate whether your submission is
related to any of the themes listed above. Conference submissions may be
accepted as paper sessions, rapid fire sessions, poster presentations, or
paper development sessions.



All submissions will be subject to blind review. Submissions should use
Times New Roman 12-point font, double spaced, 1-inch (2.5cm) margins all
around, and an 8.5″x11″ page setting. References may be single-spaced.
Submissions must be in .pdf format.



We look forward to seeing your submission! The virtual conference promises
to be a chance to connect and engage with one another and to advance and
celebrate the energizing work in conflict management, negotiation, and
peacebuilding happening around the world.
