He has been a guest lecturer at various universities throughout the United States and has taught seminars on conflict resolution and democratic theory at national universities in Hungary, Poland, Romania and Slovakia. He has written widely on theoretical, policy and practice issues in dispute resolution.
Professor Stulberg currently serves as a member of the Ohio Supreme Court Committee on Dispute Resolution., He was the Reporter for the Joint Committee on the Model Standards of Conduct for Mediators that developed the revised Model Standards (2005).
The Ohio State University awarded Professor Stulberg its 2003 Faculty Award for Excellence in Community-Based Scholarship to recognize the innovative and extensive ways in which he has integrated student learning with community service. Also in 2003, the Rochester Center for Dispute Settlement awarded him its Lifetime Achievement Award to honor "his integrity, energy, dedication and professionalism in using and promoting peaceful dispute resolution processes throughout the communities we serve."
