“…To be sure, more than enough cases of unresolved factual controversies exist as well. In negotiations concerning the management of pollutants in the ocean region adjacent to New York Harbor, no amount of discussion was able to produce unanimous representation of the evidence linking PCBs and health effects in humans (McCreary 1999). McKearnan and Field (1999) report a debate concerning the role of a local paper mill in the high rates of cancer in Northern Oxford County, Maine.…”

This article proposes that a feminist interpretation of naturalized epistemology provides a sound basis for a deliberative planning approach. It preserves the grounds for making reasoned choices between competing validity claims while promoting a view of planning as a diverse and deliberative enterprise attentive to various ways of knowing and modes of expression. The solution is based on a revised notion of objectivity that emphasizes the important function of biases—values, experiences, and contextual commitments—in “truth tracking.”

“…For all these reasons, scientists working alone may not produce information that can be used by decision makers. A case study of an earlier effort to use a blue ribbon panel highlights some of the shortcomings of the model (McCreary, 1989a(McCreary, , 1989b. In the late 1980s, a blue ribbon panel was convened to help select a suitable site for disposal of sediments dredged from the Port of Oakland, California.…”

For the past decade, we at CONCUR have been mediating complex environmental disputes and using the technique of joint fact‐finding as a cornerstone of our model of practice. In this article, we present and reflect on this body of experience, with the goal of better informing both our colleagues in the field and other potential users of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) about the elements and preconditions for successful use of joint fact‐finding. We also aim to contribute actively to current initiatives on best practices.
