I teach courses in conflict resolution and facilitation, as well as communication and leadership, in the Communication Studies Department, the Communication and Leadership Program, and Plan II.  I also serve as faculty panel co-chair for the Conflict Resolution and Peace Studies Bridging Disciplines Certificate, and I mentor students in that program and advise Plan II thesis students.  I also serve on committees in Moody, including the scholarship committee and the review process committee.  My research includes examining ways for ordinary people to participate in solving large-scale problems together through deliberative democracy, transitional and restorative justice, and other means.
