Dispute Resolution Research Center, Kellogg School of Management

The Dispute Resolution Research Center (DRRC) at Northwestern University introduces a certificate program in Negotiation Research and Teaching. The program draws on the collective knowledge of Kellogg School of Management faculty who have been researching negotiations and instructing students in the art and science of how to teach negotiation since 1982.

Now the DRRC faculty offer this unique opportunity to share their knowledge with professors and graduate students from around the world who would like to set up research programs and teach negotiation in professional schools of management, law, public policy or in undergraduate management, psychology, sociology, communications studies, or political science curricula. Participants will learn negotiation theory, become critical consumers of negotiation research, have an opportunity to design and get feedback on their own negotiation research, and learn the experiential method of teaching negotiation. The program is designed for applicants who have or are close to finishing a PhD or a JD.

The DRRC is uniquely positioned to offer the Negotiation Research and Teaching Certificate program. Northwestern’s Kellogg School and law school faculty who are associated with the Center, along with their graduate students and post-docs, have generated much of the research and theory underlying what is now taught in negotiation classes in management and law schools throughout the United States, and they have been actively transferring this knowledge through a mentorship-internship program for PhD students for more than two decades. Now this mentorship-internship program in negotiation research and teaching is available to scholars throughout the world.
