APPENDIX: LIST OF COURSES DEVELOPED AND TAUGHT (in order completed)

Gaming Conflict and Terrorism (Spring 2005 (1 Section); Graduate Level Seminar)

George Mason University/Institute for Conflict Analysis and Resolution: Developed, organized and co-taught a joint graduate level course (CONF 695/STR 509) with CDR Frances Omori of the Joint Military Intelligence College and Professor Dennis Sandole (ICAR/GMU). The course consisted of students from the Institute for Conflict Analysis and Resolution at George Mason University, the Joint Military Intelligence College at the Defense Intelligence Agency, the Foreign Service Institute of the U.S. Department of State, National Defense University and the Naval War College. The course had the largest graduate enrollment, to date, of any course offering at the Institute. The diverse makeup of the course, in terms of professional associations, resulted in the ultimate exercise in cross-cultural understanding/dispute resolution and very lively simulation exercises/class debates.

Comparative Government (Fall 2006 (1 Section); Spring 2007 (3 Sections)

Bentley College: Developed and taught a series of highly interactive, undergraduate courses in Comparative Politics that engaged students in a cross-national exploration of the world’s political systems. The courses, which received Bentley’s “Communication-Intensive” designation, utilized a variety of pedagogical tools including lectures, discussion, group presentations, films, simulations and debate to engage students in an exploration of the big questions/issues in the field. An emphasis was placed on developing an understanding of how a variety of states perceive conflict and engage in conflict resolution.

International Terrorism and Counterterrorism: (Summer 2007 (2 Sections); Summer 2008 (2 Sections); (Summer 2009 (2 Sections); (Summer 2011 (2 Sections); (Summer 2012) (1 Sections); Graduate Level Seminar)

George Mason University/Institute for Conflict Analysis and Resolution: Developed and taught several graduate seminars on International Terrorism and Counterterrorism that brought together students from the fields of Conflict Resolution, Political Science, Public and International Affairs, Public Policy, Economics, Peace Operations, Biodefense, International Commerce and Policy, Management and Education. The seminars, which focused on the strategic and dynamic aspects of terrorism and counterterrorism, drew on readings from the social mobilization, asymmetric war and conflict resolution literatures as well as the literature focused on the relatively static political and economic conditions implicated in the causes of terrorism. The courses (1) provided an introduction to the concepts of terrorism, counter terrorism and conflict resolution; (2) helped students explore the different ways in which terrorists and counter-terrorists organize and strategize, approach the problem of amassing support, engage in conflict and, in some cases, work to resolve their conflicts; and (3) helped students to become familiar with existing terrorism databases and their use. Readings, research, reports, films, discussion, guest lectures, simulations and other class exercises were used to introduce students to current knowledge and research in the field of terrorism and counterterrorism studies.

Theories of Conflict Resolution: (Fall 2007 (1 Section); Spring 2008 (1 Section); Fall 2008 (1 Section); Spring 2009 (1 Section); Graduate Level Seminar)

UMass Boston/Graduate Programs in Dispute Resolution: Developed and taught graduate level course on existing theories of conflict and conflict resolution.

[Listed through Program on Negotiation, Harvard Law School]

Cross-Cultural Conflict: (Fall 2007 (1 Section); Graduate Level Seminar)

UMass Boston/Graduate Programs in Dispute Resolution: Developed and taught graduate level seminar on Cross-Cultural Conflict and Conflict Resolution that addressed the role culture plays in contributing to the origins, escalation, and de-escalation of conflict within and between groups. The course explored the role of culture in the formation, structuring, and resolution of conflict within and between groups and paid special attention to ethnicity and other sub-cultural markers of identity in complex social systems. The course also examined different approaches and frameworks for understanding culture and introduced skills to deal with issues such as prejudice, stereotyping, and ethnocentrism in conflict settings.

Terrorism and Conflict Resolution (Spring 2008 (1 Section); Graduate Level Seminar)

UMass Boston/Graduate Programs in Dispute Resolution: Developed and taught graduate level seminar that examined current scholarship and research on terrorism and counterterrorism and explores cutting edge debates that highlight the need for sophisticated conflict analysis in the post 9-11 world. Questions explored include: What is terrorism? Is it a meaningful term? How has it evolved and changed? What are its hypothesized causes and is there a “New Terrorism”? How do those who engage in this kind of violence organize, accumulate funds, amass support, and use the media? What is counterterrorism? And how do the strategies taken by terrorists and those who oppose them shape some outcomes rather than others? In other words, what are the dynamics of terrorism and counterterrorism? When does terrorism subside? When does it escalate? How can counterterrorist policies and strategies be modified? Particular emphasis was spent examining new and emerging scholarship in the field of conflict management that suggests strategies to reduce or at least contain this problem.

Readings, research, reports, films, discussion and debate, case studies, simulations and other class exercises are used to help students better understand the concept and origins of terrorism, explore similarities and differences in the way terrorists and counterterrorists organize and strategize, approach the problem of securing support, engage in conflict and, in some cases, resolve their conflicts.

Doing Research on Terrorism and Counterterrorism: (Winter 2008 (1 Section); Graduate Level Seminar)

George Mason University/Institute for Conflict Analysis and Resolution: Developed and taught research methods seminar to masters and doctoral students from a variety of university programs including conflict resolution, public and international affairs, public policy, biodefense, and peace operations.

How do you choose and craft a researchable question? What are the benefits of different types of research designs? How and where can you get data? What are the pros and cons of using existing data vs. collecting your own data? How do you write a successful proposal? An equal amount of attention was spent examining qualitative, quantitative and mixed methods approaches. At the end of the course, students were expected to have an appreciation of the practical aspects of research in terrorism and counterterrorism, be able to formulate researchable

Students in attendance included masters and doctoral students from a variety of disciplines including dispute resolution, management, education, international relations, gerontology, and public administration.

The course addressed a series of broad questions including: What is negotiation? How does it differ from other forms of conflict or dispute resolution? Is there any one best way to negotiate? And to what extent is theory a good guide to practice? The course provided an overview of negotiation theory and practice and examined relevant concepts and skills from simple two-party, single-issue cases to more complex multi-party, multi-issue cases. The course was taught in an intensive, interactive format using a combination of interactive lectures/discussions, role-play simulations and in-class and web-based exercises.

Students were expected to gain an understanding of the nature of negotiation and the importance of gathering and protecting information as well as learn to appreciate the roles of aspirations, positions, interests, rights, power and ethics in negotiation. Emphasis was placed on understanding not only the distinction between integrative and distributive bargaining but also the value of generating options in reaching integrative arrangements. In-class exercises were designed to convey the complexity of multi-party negotiations and to provide participants with experience in pre- negotiation preparation, negotiation strategies and processes, and a framework for evaluation the efficacy of success in negotiations.
