A podcast from JAMS featuring neutral Michael Lewis and Carl Smallwood and Nancy Rogers of the Divided Community Project (DCP) on the project’s goal of using dispute resolution tools to positively impact and empower communities across the nation

In this podcast, JAMS neutral Michael Lewis; Carl Smallwood, executive director of the Divided Community Project; and Nancy Rogers, who serves on the Divided Community Project’s Executive Committee, discuss the origins of the project and the path to developing resources for local leaders and community members to achieve change and tackle divisive issues impacting their communities.
