Mediation and Participatory Processes
Program on Negotiation
SPRING
This 12-week interactive seminar provides participants with the opportunity to examine the practice of mediation and the skills employed to reach consensus among parties with divergent interests and objectives. Central to this discussion will be the nature of third party intervention as a social process crucial to problem solving, conflict management and large-scale change.
Participants will explore ways to design third-party processes that foster an environment for conflict resolution. Using interactive simulations and case studies, students examine the impact of third-party intervention in interpersonal, environmental, commercial and international disputes.
PON seminars are open to participants from all disciplines and professional fields. Fluency in English is a must (suggested minimum score on TOEFL 570). Details and registration can be found here.
