SHSS Faculty Invited to Develop Curriculum for Mediators Beyond Borders Project

Alexia Georgakopoulos, Ph.D. (pictured left), faculty in the Department of Conflict Analysis and Resolution in the Graduate School of Humanities and Social Sciences (SHSS) has been invited to work with a team involved with the Middle East Initiative of Mediators Beyond Borders (MBB) to create mediation curriculum.

The team will develop a multicultural mediation curriculum customized to the needs of Palestinians and Jewish Israelis. Members of the team are comprised of those with theory and practical experience in multiculturalism, Middle East cultures, conflict mediation, education, and curriculum development.

The team Georgakopoulos serves on will offer constructive criticism of feasibility and precedent projects in the field. It will also provide resources for further study. Georgakopoulos teaches classes in DCAR, such as Mediation and Facilitation and also has a research interest in culture and communication.

The Department of Conflict Analysis offers a master's degree, doctoral degree and graduate certificates. For further information please contact chair Neil Katz, Ph.D., at (954) 262-3040 or kneil@nova.edu.

    I am currently working on my MA in Conflict Resolution and Reconciliation. I will be graduating next Spring (2011). I am planning on applying for my PhD in Conflict Analysis and Resolution next Fall at Nova. I hope that I can be involved with a project like this. I firmly believe that there is an answer to the conflict in the Middle East, and I hope I can be a part of that solution
