Sarah Federman - Transformative Negotiation: Strategies for Everyday Change and Equitable Futures

Conference/Seminar

The Heravi Peace Institute is pleased to welcome Professor Sarah Federman, Associate Professor of Conflict Resolution at the University of San Diego’s Kroc School of Peace Studies. Professor Federman explores the intersection of business and mass atrocity. She is the author of the award-winning Transformative Negotiation: Strategies for Everyday Change and Equitable Futures (University of California Press 2023) and the award-winning Last Train to Auschwitz: The French National Railways and the Journey to Accountability (University of Wisconsin 2021). Corporate Reckoning: How Businesses Can Address Historic Wrongs will be published by MIT Press in April 2026. Her San Diego TedX talk on the role of businesses in mass atrocities was selected by the main TED for global distribution. Federman has two co-authored anthologies, Introduction to Conflict Resolution: Discourses and Dynamics(2019) and Narratives of Mass Atrocity: Victims and Perpetrators in the Aftermath (2022). Join HPI for in an interactive talk on her book on Transformative Negotiation. RSVP required. Broadcasting available for Statewide campuses https://www.ucpress.edu/books/transformative-negotiation/paper

Ecology Center Seminar Series - Dr. Regina Baucom

Conference/Seminar

Dr. Regina Baucom
November 19-20, 2025
Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology
University of Michigan

I am a professor in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Michigan and I study plant evolutionary ecology and evolutionary genetics. My research examines how plants adapt to environmental pressures, such as herbicide exposure and global change. Notably, I investigate the genetic mechanisms behind herbicide resistance in weedy species like the common morning glory (Ipomoea purpurea) and explore the ecological consequences of herbicide use on plant-insect interactions. Overall, my research program bridges evolutionary theory with agricultural and environmental challenges to provide insight into rapid adaptation and eco-evolutionary dynamics.

Math/Stat Department Colloquium

Conference/Seminar

This talk will focus specifically on central calculus concepts, in terms of the meanings that are typically developed in math classes and how that may potentially create clashes for students trying to use calculus in other STEM fields.

Enhancing Engineering Students' Problem-Solving through Metacognition and Self-Regulation

Conference/Seminar

Problem-solving in engineering is widely recognized as one of the most challenging skills to teach and learn. Success relies heavily on students’ understanding of the problem-solving task (metacognitive knowledge about tasks) and their ability to self-regulate through monitoring and evaluation strategies. This interactive workshop draws on research with undergraduate engineering and mathematics students, which identified seven distinct learning episodes that illustrate the interplay between task understanding, self-regulation, and performance. The workshop consists of two complementary parts. The first part, “Understanding the Problem-Solving Task,” invites participants to explore these seven learning episodes, reflect on student approaches, and identify instructional strategies tailored to each scenario. The second part, “Designing Instructional Strategies for Adaptive Problem- Solving,” focuses on hands-on application, engaging attendees in activities and case discussions to develop and refine instructional practices that enhance metacognitive awareness and self-regulation. Participants will leave with both a research-informed conceptual framework and practical tools.

Darren Parry:The Earth Still Remembers Us

Conference/Seminar

The Heravi Peace Institute presents a lecture by Darren Perry:
The Earth Still Remembers Us: Indigenous Teachings on Hope, Character, and Climate Resilience
In a time of unprecedented ecological change, Indigenous worldviews remind us that the Earth is not a resource, it is a relative that remembers our songs, our stories, and our responsibilities. This keynote explores how Indigenous knowledge systems cultivate the moral character and relational ethics essential for climate resilience and peacebuilding. Drawing on teachings of reciprocity, humility, and gratitude, Darren Parry shares how ancestral wisdom offers pathways to restore balance between people and planet.
Through stories from the Shoshone tradition and contemporary examples of land stewardship, he will illustrate how hope is not a passive emotion but an active practice rooted in relationship. When we live with respect and responsibility, we remember who we are—and in doing so, the Earth remembers us too.
