PON Live! Teaching Negotiation in Prison

PON speaker Max Bevilacqua, Managing Director at Mindful Negotiating, will share his experiences teaching in a medium-security Men’s prison in Massachusetts through Tufts University’s Prison Initiative at Tisch College.

What are the considerations of teaching negotiation and conflict resolution inside a prison? How do teachers manage their biases, the self-segregation of students in the classroom, and the structural imbalances outside of it? Which readings are most applicable for someone navigating the prison system? How do we conduct meaningful role-play simulations in an emotionally charged environment? In this session Max Bevilacqua, Managing Director at Mindful Negotiating, will share his experiences teaching in a medium-security Men’s prison in Massachusetts through Tufts University’s Prison Initiative at Tisch College.
