Our special guest this week, Andrea Kupfer Schneider, Professor of Law and Director of the Kukin Program for Conflict Resolution at Cardozo School of Law will Present on: How to Negotiate Like the Adult You Want to Be
Social media, the Covid lockdown, campus unrest, and political polarization have upended and challenged norms of communication. Many of us have lost the skills of listening with curiosity to those with whom we strongly disagree. And yet we know that we need these skills to manage our career, our family, our friends, and the typical day-to-day disputes in which we engage, let alone the broader societal challenges we face. How can we (re)learn communication and negotiation skills? How can we determine when to talk, when to listen, when to negotiate, and when to fight?
Our presenter: Andrea Kupfer Schneider is a Professor of Law and Director of the Kukin Program for Conflict Resolution at Cardozo School of Law. Professor Schneider was the previous director of the nationally ranked ADR program at Marquette University Law School in Wisconsin, where she taught ADR, Negotiation, Ethics and International Conflict Resolution for over two decades. In addition to overseeing the ADR program, Professor Schneider was the inaugural director of the university’s Institute for Women’s Leadership.
In 2024, Professor Schneider was awarded the Rubin Theory to Practice Award given by the International Association of Conflict Management (IACM) honoring meritorious and long-standing contributions at the nexus of theory, research and practice. She was named the 2017 recipient of the ABA Section of Dispute Resolution Award for Outstanding Scholarly Work, the highest scholarly award given by the ABA in the field of dispute resolution. And in 2009, Professor Schneider was awarded the Woman of the Year Award by the Wisconsin Law Journal and the Association for Women Lawyers. She was elected to the American Law Institute in 2022 and the Council for Foreign Relations in 2023.
She is a founding editor of Indisputably, the blog for ADR law faculty, and started the Dispute Resolution Works-in-Progress annual conferences in 2007. In 2016, she gave her first TEDx talk titled Women Don’t Negotiate and Other Similar Nonsense. Professor Schneider received her A.B. cum laude from Princeton University’s School of Public and International Affairs and her J.D. cum laude from Harvard Law School. She also received a Diploma from the Academy of European Law in Florence, Italy.
