This publication primarily contains pieces written by participants in the Dispute Resolution Institute’s (DRI) 2017 Symposium entitled: An Intentional Conversation About Public Engagement: Weaving Threads to Strengthen the Fabric of our Communities. The Symposium was the second one devoted to public engagement and followed the 2015 biennial symposium entitled An Intentional Conversation About Public Engagement and Decision Making: Moving from Dysfunction and Polarization to Dialogue and Understanding. Articles from 2015 Symposium were published in the Mitchell Hamline Law Review. The Symposium and Reflections were generously funded by a grant from the American Arbitration Association- International Centre for Dispute Resolution (AAA-ICDR) Foundation.
