The coordinator for this program, being offered by the Hastings Center for Negotiation & Dispute Resolution (see previous post), just sent me an updated e-mail about the event. From the description, it sounds like a program many of you will want to attend. (When the Web site for the symposium goes live next week, I will post the link here.) Jolynn Jones writes:
Lie to Me?! How Emotions Matter in Negotiation
Featuring renowned scientist Paul Ekman, inspiration for Fox TV’s Lie to Me, and other leading scientists and negotiation experts from law, business, and public service, this live symposium explores several related topics around the hub of emotion and negotiation. Leading scholars will address what we know about the way emotion affects negotiation, how we can better manage emotion, and finally, where does attention and management of emotion take us. Is it a tool for greater cooperation? Ethics? Does it keep us from being duped? Better outcomes for society and for ourselves?
This symposium builds on earlier Harvard symposia on mindfulness and the upcoming Berkeley symposium on mindfulness , but takes a broader view of emotion and digs deeper into cutting-edge scientific research.UC Hastings College of the Law
