SUMMARY:Who Gets to Be Neutral? Culture\, Credibility\, and the Mediator's Seat
DESCRIPTION:Who Gets to Be Neutral? Culture\, Credibility\, and the Mediator’s Seat \n  \nClassical mediation asks the neutral third party to stand equidistant from both sides. But what happens when the parties themselves aren’t standing on equal ground? In this conversation\, we ask whether neutrality is always the right goal\, or whether it can quietly preserve the very imbalances mediation claims to address. Join NECR lecturer Dr. Dianne Williams and special guest Dr. Faith Speaks for a conversation that moves past “how do I stay neutral?” toward the harder question: what is a mediator actually accountable to? \n  \nDrawing on mediation and restorative-practice frameworks alongside Dr. Speaks’ background in counseling psychology and diversity-and inclusion-facilitation\, this session explores how personal worldviews can shape who gets read as credible in a room\, how a facilitator’s own background is never a blank slate\, and how cultural awareness operates beneath the surface of every dispute. Rather than a single-discipline take\, this is a genuinely multidisciplinary hour—psychology and conflict resolution in direct conversation—designed to give prospective students a real sense of the analytical range the NECR program cultivates. \n  \nSpeakers:\nDr. Dianne Williams\, Lecturer\, Negotiation and Conflict Resolution; International Mediator and Restorative Practitioner (moderator)\nDr. Faith Speaks\, Counseling Psychologist\, Personal and Organizational Development Consultant\nDr. Faith Speaks is a counselor psychologist\, researcher\, therapist\, educator\, civil and human rights organizer\, and community development professional whose commitment to human dignity\, justice\, education\, and social change began during her youth growing up in Brooklyn and Long Island\, New York. \n  \nFor questions about this event\, please contact Kjerstin Pugh\, kep2137@columbia.edu.

SUMMARY:From Fate to Foresight
DESCRIPTION:Reclaiming the Future Through Anticipatory Governance \nDickens’ David Copperfield famously remarked that “dreams are dress rehearsals for the future.” But for many\, the stage is never set. When survival becomes a daily battle\, when short-termism stifles vision\, and when the future feels like a luxury reserved for the few\, the right to dream is effectively invalidated. \nHow do we move from being spectators of our fate to the architects of our destiny?\nJoin us for a provocative and practical webinar exploring the power of public interest foresight/anticipatory governance. We will dive into how forward-thinking strategies are being used to dismantle legislative hurdles and fuel grassroots advocacy. This isn’t just about predicting what is next – it’s about transformative societal action. \nSpeakers:\nPeter Dixon\, PhD\, Program Director\, M.S. in Negotiation and Conflict Resolution; Associate Professor of Practice (moderator)\nKatindi Sivi\, PhD\, Futures Researcher\, Policy Analyst & Trainer\, is a strategist and foresight practitioner dedicated to navigating the complexities of tomorrow. Specializing in the intersection of long-term planning and public impact\, Dr. Sivi works alongside policymakers\, organizational and community leaders to translate what if into what now. By blending rigorous trend analysis with inclusive community engagement\, she helps organizations move past reactive decision-making to build proactive\, future-ready legacies. To interact more with her work\, please visit www.longviewconsult.com.\nFor questions about this event\, please contact Kjerstin Pugh\, kep2137@columbia.edu.
