Negotiation is one of the most sought-after skills in professional development. It is a core competence for political and organizational leadership, management, teamwork, and career advancement. The capacity to solve conflicts in mutually beneficial ways is also fundamental to navigating the boundaries of work and family. Yet, not everyone feels equally privileged to negotiate. Gender and other identity characteristics influence negotiation expectations, behavior, and outcomes.
In our Fall 2022 Seminar Series, led by WAPPP Co-Director Hannah Riley Bowles, you will gain insight into when and how gender and other intersecting identity characteristics influence the negotiation of work and life pursuits and learn about inclusive pedagogical strategies for negotiation skill development. Participation in this seminar series will enhance your capacity to diagnose the effects of gender and intersecting identities on negotiation and increase the inclusiveness of negotiation education and practice.
