The Program on Negotiation hosts a wide variety of events throughout the academic year, including conferences, symposia, seminars, lectures, student discussions, book talks, film series events, and more. The Great Negotiator Award activities recognize an individual whose lifetime achievements in the field of negotiation and dispute resolution have had a significant and lasting impact. A regularly held seminar series focuses on “Negotiation, Conflict, and the News Media,” and visiting scholars are invited to give talks on their research at regularly held Research Seminars.
