His degree was awarded with distinction by Syracuse University's Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs, where he was a graduate affiliate of the Program on the Analysis and Resolution of Conflicts and a student in the interdisciplinary Social Science program.

Hedeen has authored Using Participant Feedback to Evaluate and Improve Quality in Mediation (2002) for the Consortium for Appropriate Dispute Resolution in Special Education, as well as chapters in the ADR Handbook for Judges (ABA, 2004), Minnesota ADR Deskbook (MSBA, 1999) and Workplace Dispute Resolution (Michigan State University Press, 1997).

(2003) in the Penn State Law Review, "The Reverse Jigsaw: A Process of Cooperative Learning and Discussion" (2003) in Teaching Sociology, co-authored "Community Mediation and the Courts: The Ties that Bind" (2000) and "Disabilities and Mediation Readiness in Court-Referred Cases: Developing Screening Criteria and Service Networks" (1998), both of which have appeared in Mediation Quarterly, and was an associate editor of Social Conflicts and Collective Identities (Rowman and Littlefield, 2000).

Forthcoming publications include "The Evolution and Evaluation of Community Mediation: Limited Research Suggests Unlimited Promise" (2004) in Conflict Resolution Quarterly, as well as "Democracy and Self-Determination: the Means and Ends of Conflict Resolution Training and Teaching" and the co-authored "A Stage Model of Cooptation and the Community Mediation Movement," both of which are presently under review.
