Dear Participants of our 2004 Workshop on Humiliation and Violent Conflict in New York, November 18-19!

Thanks!

May I express my sincere gratitude and appreciation to all of you who joined our Workshop on Humiliation and Violent Conflict in New York in 2004! You ALL made our meeting a unique and extremely exiting experience! As after our Paris meeting in September, I felt as if I went through a hurricane, so many creative contributions "swirled" through our workshop! Please see here some pictures!

Our workshop was a closed meeting. We could have had many more participants and unfortunately had to say "no" to many of you who wrote to us and wished to participate. We would like to express our regret to all of you who did not have the chance to participate. We will try to broaden our activities (and resources!) in the future! Please bear with us and give us your support so that we can grow in a constructive way!

I would like to thank our host, the Columbia University's Conflict Resolution Network (CU-CRN), with special help from SIPA – Center for International Conflict Resolution, Columbia University (CICR) and the International Center for Cooperation and Conflict Resolution (ICCCR).

Please let me express special thanks to Alba Taveras, Melissa Sweeney, Judit Révész, and Andrea Bartoli, Peter Coleman and Morton Deutsch! Warm thanks also to Rebecca Klein for diligently taking notes during the entire meeting, to Linda Hartling and Donald Klein for setting the frame of appreciative inquiry, Beth Fisher-Yoshida, Linda Hartling, Carlos E. Sluzki, and Donald Klein for being moderators, to Alan Klein for leading our Open Space Session, and to Steve Perry Flythe and Craig Dorsi for filming.

The Research Workshop was made possible by a generous contribution from the Slifka Foundation, and we wish to express our warm gratitude.
