Based on student demand for semester-long subjects that teach skills in negotiation and leadership through a pedagogy that is highly interactive and involves tailored coaching, we propose to lead the collaborative efforts to create an interdisciplinary MIT-wide Concentration in Negotiation and Leadership. The Concentration (which we hope would be approved by the faculty committee that oversees the MIT-wide HASS requirement) will offer MIT undergraduates practical skills and personal insights applicable to any profession through an interactive and hands-on approach to instruction. As part of the Concentration, we will create an Advanced Negotiation and Leadership course.
