I teach a graduate class on negotiations and conflict resolution
I teach graduate students as an adjunct professor at the University of Minnesota’s Hubert H. Humphrey School of Public Policy. The course, PA5135: Managing Conflict Through Negotiation and Consensus-Building, gives students hands-on experience in a variety of negotiation scenarios, ranging from real estate transactions to international treaties. Students leave the course with tangible skills and experiences that help them navigate real-world conflicts more effectively.
My teaching approach is informed by experience as a practitioner as well as in academia
I have completed the State of Minnesota’s Civil Mediation training and volunteer as a mediator with the St. Paul-based Dispute Resolution Center, mediating conflicts through the Ramsey County civil court systems as well as community disputes outside of court. In 2024, I was named the Dispute Resolution Center’s “Volunteer of the Year.”
As a graduate student at MIT, I learned from leading experts on negotiation theory and practice, including Professor Lawrence Susskind at the MIT Department of Urban Studies and Planning and Professor Jared Curhan at the MIT Sloan School of Business. Both are leaders within the Program on Negotiations university consortium, which provides many of the negotiation case studies that I teach.
