Difficult Dialogues: Workshops on Conflict Management

Paul Ladehoff is the director of training programs for the Center for the Study of Dispute Resolution at the University of Missouri School of Law and the director of the Campus Mediation Service. He is also a project leader for the Difficult Dialogues initiative at Missouri. The initiative is designed to stimulate rigorous intellectual inquiry and to empower students to express opposing views respectfully and in the spirit of open-mindedness. Ladehoff is an honors graduate of the University of Nebraska College of Law and served as a trial attorney for the U.S. Department of Justice. The CSDR is the premier law school dispute resolution center in the nation.

While this is a Spring Faculty Forum, students and staff are welcome to attend. These sessions will prepare faculty to prevent unproductive or destructive conflict and from overwhelming the educational benefit of dialogue.

There are two additional one-hour workshops scheduled on this subject at 9 a.m. and at 3:10 p.m. in the Campanile Room.
