Professor Deborah Cai, chair of the Department of Strategic Communication, will serve as the next editor of the International Association for Conflict Management’s journal, Negotiation and Conflict Management Research. She will serve officially from January 2013 through December 2015, overseeing the publication of volumes six through eight.

“As the association’s official journal, NCMR has established itself as a significant outlet for theoretically driven research representing a variety of academic disciplines,” Cai writes in IACM’s Signal newsletter. “It addresses issues of conflict and negotiation from micro to macro levels of analysis as well as across contexts, ranging from the environmental to the political, from organizational to interpersonal.”
