About the Talks:
Every year, the Program on Negotiation welcomes a group of doctoral students as Graduate Research Fellows. Our Fellows spend a year at PON researching and writing about current topics in the fields of negotiation and mediation, with the goal of publishing their work after their time at PON.
This talk provides an opportunity for two of this year’s Graduate Research Fellows to share and discuss their research findings with the negotiation community.
Samantha Lakin will present her research on “Negotiating Justice in the Immediate Post-Genocide Period in Rwanda.”
Fady Khoury will present his research “Constitutional Design in Divided Societies: Apex Courts in Power-Sharing Democracies.”

Fady Khoury is an S.J.D candidate at Harvard Law School. His research interests include Comparative Constitutional Law, Human Rights, and the intersection between Law, Society and Politics. As a PON fellow, Khoury’s dissertation research examines the potential utilization of constitutional law, power-sharing strategies and federal arrangements as conflict resolution and peace-building tools in deeply divided societies, with a special focus on Belgium, Lebanon, Northern Ireland and Palestine-Israel, exploring, both descriptively and normatively, the design and functions of the judicial branch within power-sharing political systems. Khoury holds a Bachelor of Laws from Haifa University. Before Harvard Law School, he worked as a civil rights attorney at Adalah – the Legal Center for Arab Minority Rights in Israel.
