In this tribute to the 2007 recipient of the winner of the Jeffrey Z. Rubin Theory‐To‐Practice Award from the International Association for Conflict Management (IACM), we celebrate Linda Babcock's contributions to diverse lines of research, her tireless and effective efforts to put the insights of her research into practice, and at a personal level, the impact she has had on each of our lives. Innovative ideas and novel methods have been the hallmarks of Linda's research on diverse topics: the impact of self‐serving conceptions of fairness on negotiations, the labor supply behavior of cab drivers, the impact of damage caps on settlements, the propensity of men and women to initiate negotiations, and the readiness of each gender to volunteer for, and work on, “nonpromotable tasks.” Linda won this award, however, not only for her path‐breaking academic research, but for her interest in and ability to convert it into actionable initiatives. From founding the Program for Research and Outreach on Gender Equity in Society (PROGRESS), whose mission is to develop tools to teach women and girls how to harness the power of negotiation, to her leadership of the Carnegie Mellon Leadership and Negotiation Academy for Women, Linda shows how academics can play a leading role in translating theory into practice.

琳达·巴布科克（Linda Babcock）：做得更好，做得更好

为了向2007年获得国际冲突管理协会（IACM）杰弗里·鲁宾理论-实践奖的获奖者致敬，我们庆祝琳达·巴布科克（Linda Babcock）为各种研究做出的贡献，她为实现这一目标所做的不懈而有效的努力将她的研究见解付诸实践，并在个人层面上了解她对我们每一生的影响。创新的想法和新颖的方法一直是琳达在各种主题上进行研究的标志：公平的自我服务观念对谈判的影响，出租车司机的劳动力供应行为，损害赔偿上限对定居点的影响，男女的倾向发起谈判，每个性别都准备自愿参加“不可推广的任务​​”并开展工作。琳达获得了这个奖项，但是，不仅是因为她开创性的学术研究，而且还因为她对将其转化为可付诸实践的倡议的兴趣和能力。从创立社会性别平等研究与推广计划（PROGRESS）以来，她的任务是开发教妇女和女童如何利用谈判力量的工具，到卡内基梅隆妇女领导力和谈判学院的领导， Linda展示了学者如何在将理论转化为实践中发挥领导作用。
