The Project’s goal is to introduce the knowledge of the negotiation and conflict resolution fields to the general public by engaging fandoms via books, podcasts, appearances at fan conventions, and more. Their first book, Star Wars and Conflict Resolution, is available at https://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Conflict-Resolution-Alternatives/dp/1734956224
other books on Star Wars and other pop-culture phenomena are already underway.
