Frank Dukes has been affiliated with George Mason's School for Conflict Analysis and Resolution and Department of Environmental Science and Policy since fall of 2008. I have also been privileged to work for the Institute for Environmental Negotiation (IEN) since 1990, and as Director since 2000. As a mediator and facilitator, I seek ways to address public conflict and complex public problems that strengthen communities rather than tear them apart. I’ve worked on projects involving environment and land use, community development, education, and health. Much of my recent work has involved helping communities determine how to make use of controversial contaminated sites. I have also facilitated community conversations on topics ranging from faith and homosexuality to reparations for slavery, and assisted the Greensboro Truth and Reconciliation Commission with community dialogue.
Classes I have taught include environmental conflict resolution, collaborative planning, consensus building, and public and community involvement. Following Sept. 11, 2001 I initiated two University Seminars, one examining violence and non-violence for political change, and the second, “Righting Unrightable Wrongs,” examining reparations and restorative justice. A one-credit mediation class is used by University Mediation Services as the initial training for student mediators.
I also co-founded the Virginia Natural Resources Leadership Institute, a nine-month program that brings together representatives from industry, non-governmental organizations, public agencies, and communities to develop collaborative leadership around environmental issues.
My book Resolving Public Conflict: Transforming Community and Governance describes how public conflict resolution procedures can assist in vitalizing democracy. I’m lead author of Collaboration: A Guide for Environmental Advocates, and with two colleagues I’m co-author of Reaching for Higher Ground in Conflict Resolution, which describes how diverse groups and communities can create expectations for addressing conflict with integrity, vision, and creativity.
My wife, Linda Hankins Dukes, teaches reading to elementary school students and I have two children.
Current Community Service:
