Giacomini co-edits book on campus conflict response

Oct 27, 2020 Nancy Geist Giacomini, adjunct instructor in the Jandoli School of Communication's strategic leadership program, is co-editor of the book "Reframing Campus Conflict: Student Conduct Practice Through the Lens of Inclusive Excellence."

This revised and updated second edition builds upon the original vision of the first, which was to give voice to diverse and inclusive perspectives, identities, and practices that support the principle that conduct and conflict response must be based upon foundations of social justice and restorative justice to disrupt and transform overly legalistic and escalated student conduct administration applications.

New chapter case studies, summaries and questions bolster the usefulness of the book as a timely textbook and campus training guide and is a must-have resource for broad stakeholders invested in inclusive conflict excellence. 

The book closes with an editor's afterword composed during intermittent global resurgences of COVID-19, uneven public health guidance, escalated demands for racial justice, and an uncertain U.S. political future that holds conservative and progressive values in the balance.

It is available through Stylus Publications and Amazon.
