About the Event
The Academy of Management's Conflict Management division is offering a series of webinars offered by the division's Scholars in Residence, cosponsored by the International Association for Conflict Management. This third webinar begins with Michael introducing 3 guests whose career began with an initial publication that led to societal implications/change, thus moving from micro to macro.
Each guest will talk about the impetus for their idea and the journey on how the idea grew to impact society including key moments on how their idea found traction, obstacles they faced, how they overcame them, and how their ideas grew to what they are today. This aims to be an inspiring session about how your ideas might grow to impact the larger society, policy, institutions, or organizations.
In the first segment, we talk with Dr. Tricia Jones, Professor in the Department of Communication and Social Influence and Director of the Center for Conflict Management and Media Impact in the Klein College of Media and Communication at Temple University. She is past Vice- President and Member of the Board of Directors of the Association for Conflict Management and past President of the International Association of Conflict Management. Her work in conflict management spans 35 years of teaching, research and practice in conflict resolution intervention, conflict resolution education, alternative dispute resolution, intercultural conflict, and organizational dispute system design. Dr. Jones has received over $6 million in external funding as the Principal Investigator from federal and state agencies and private foundations.
In the second segment, we talk with Dr. Randall Peterson, Professor and Academic Director of the Leadership Institute and former Chair of the Research Ethics Committee at the London Business School. Randall's research and teaching focus on CEO personality, top management team interaction, board dynamics, leading diverse teams, conflict management, and the effects of member personality on group interaction and performance. Randall has won the Academy of Management's 'Best Paper' award, as well as the 'most influential article' award. His research was similarly awarded 'most influential article' by the International Association of Conflict Management and 'Best Paper' published in small group research. He is a former Deputy Dean (Faculty), Subject Area Chair of Organisational Behaviour, Chair of the Ph.D. Programme.
In our third segment, we talk with Dr. Ellen Giebels (University of Twente, the Netherlands) began her research career in the field of business negotiations but moved to the field of hostage negotiations quickly after obtaining her PhD. This led to collaboration with crisis negotiation teams worldwide. She worked with the Belgian Federal Police (Behavioral Sciences Unit) and teaches in the Dutch national basic training for police negotiators. Dr. Giebels received the RUBIN theory-to-practice award, co-sponsored by the International Association for Conflict Management (IACM) and the Harvard University Program on Negotiation and is a Fellow of the Association for Psychological Science. Recently, and as part of a multidisciplinary consortium she has received a 10-year grant of the Dutch National Science council to understand the determinants of successful societal crisis responses. Specifically, the programme works with policymakers to develop tools and strategies to help societies better navigate crises.
