AUSTIN, Texas – The Center for Public Policy Dispute Resolution at The
UT School of Law will host its Third Annual Spring Dispute Resolution Symposium
featuring keynote speaker Deborah Kolb on Monday, April 28, at 7:45 a.m. in
the Eidman Courtroom. Eleven UT graduate students will also present research
on varied dispute resolution topics.
The symposium culminates the third year of the Graduate Portfolio Program in
Dispute Resolution (GPPDR). The Portfolio Program is an interdisciplinary academic
program selecting graduate students with good academic-standing and who are
interested in the study and research of conflict and dispute resolution. Because
professionals and leaders in society spend substantial time managing interpersonal
and inter-organizational conflict, portfolio graduates take these extremely
useful skills and apply them in their diverse careers.
The public is invited to attend the program’s keynote speech by Dr. Kolb at 10:20 a.m. in the Eidman Courtroom and student presentations between 8:15-10:00 a.m in the Eidman and Jeffers Courtrooms, 1:00-2:45 p.m. and 3:00-4:05 p.m in the Eidman Courtroom.
Student presenters will be graduating from the following schools: College of Communication, LBJ School of Public Affairs, School of Architecture, and the School of Law. Students will present their research on topics ranging from Mediation Ethics, US/China Bilateral Negotiations, How Ombudsmen Construct Neutrality, and Children’s Rights in Family Law Mediation.

Kolb is a management professor at Simmons Graduate School of Management and the Center for Gender in Organizations at Simmons in Boston. She served as executive director of the Program on Negotiation at Harvard University from 1991-1994, where she now co-directs The Program on Negotiations in the Workplace. Her speech will focus on research associated with her book, “Everyday Negotiation: Navigating the Hidden Agendas of Bargaining,” which she has co-authored with Judith Williams (Jossey-Bass, January 2003). Williams has taught both at Boston College and Harvard and is the co-founder of theshadownegotiation.com, the first web site to offer negotiation training for women.
Sponsoring the Dispute Resolution Symposium through their financial contributions are the Construction Law Section of the State Bar of Texas, Center for Risk Management and Insurance, McCombs School of Business, and the School of Social Work.
