Currently, Joshia is pursuing a doctoral degree program in conflict analysis and

South Africa, and the USA. He specializes in ethnic conflict, community-based
conflicts and youth related conflicts. <BR><BR>In addition, Joshia is a

Resolution in Community Settings course at Bryn Mawr College. <BR><BR>A vivid
spectrum of philosophies and approaches to conflict resolution has proliferated
over the past twenty years. The practice, however, of mediating conflict has
been slow to incorporate the burgeoning renaissance of theory. Practitioners
tend to remain narrow adherents to the specific methodologies in which they were
inculated. <BR><BR>There is a compelling need for practitioners to develop a
broader repertoire that accesses the theories available and best practice
methodologies. Moreover, social workers, labor representatives, attorneys,
community organizers and others charged with mediational roles have little
training in conflict resolution. Front-line social workers, for example, have
little conflict resolution training. Yet they are increasing being expected to
mediate their clients' access to needed services in a dysfunctional human
service delivery system. <BR><BR>My research interests include:<BR>1.
Collaborative conflict resolution, advocacy and job strain in front-line case
management practice <BR>2. Community mediation to resolve university/community
