About the Talks:

Each year, the Program on Negotiation welcomes a group of outstanding doctoral students as PON 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. Fellows go on to successful careers in academia, the legal and corporate worlds, as well as the public sector.

This session provides an opportunity for two of our Graduate Research Fellows to share and discuss their research findings with the negotiation community.

Nicolás Parra Herrera will present his research “Rethinking the Roots of Alternative Dispute Resolution.”

Helen Winter will present her research “Peer Mediation Among Refugee Communities: A Path to Self-efficacy and Sustainable Conflict Prevention.”
