SHSS Consortium for Narrative Research and Practice presents Two Days with Sallyann Roth

On January 15-16, 2010, The School of Humanities and Social Science’s Consortium for Narrative Research and Practice will present Sallyann Roth. Sallyann is a founding member and senior associate of the Public Conversations Project (PCP), associate of the Taos Institute and former co-director, curriculum developer, and trainer, Family Institute of Cambridge (USA). She trains people in working with Narrative Therapies, dialogue facilitation, and family work both in the U.S. and abroad and consults to the interpersonal skills component of Harvard Law School's Negotiation Project. She serves on the editorial boards of Family Process, and the new on-line Journal of Collaborative Practices. Her consulting and clinical practices are based in Medford, Massachusetts, USA.

Sallyann’s two days at Nova Southeastern University will offer participants opportunities to learn new ways of engaging clients in conversations that move opponents toward mutual understanding. Whether working with differences of identity, ideology, religion, values, or world views, these two days will offer ideas to help individuals, families and communities to connect, or reconnect, by meeting one another in new ways. On day one, she will discuss the essential principles and practices of the Public Conversations Project, skills for engaging with groups who experience polarized disagreements, and how to apply these skills in structured conversations. On day two, she will discuss the theory and principles that serve as the foundation for her practice with families, expand their clinical practice skills, and the structure of meetings and preparations for assisting estranged family members to re-connect with one another.
