Senior Fellow, Program on Negotiation at Harvard Law School
As a senior fellow, Shula Gilad manages Program on Negotiation’s Middle East Negotiation Initiative, which helps disseminate negotiation methodology and techniques that can help solve this region’s most difficult challenges. Previously, she was a senior consultant to Mercy Corps Conflict Management Group, the coordinator of the Wexner Israel Fellowship Program at Harvard Kennedy School (HKS), and the director of policy research at HKS’s Institute for Social and Economic Policy in the Middle East.
In that capacity, she directed joint Arab-Israeli research projects on topics related to the Final Status issues—such as water, refugees, Jerusalem, trade, and security—which were presented to heads of states in the Middle East and to other relevant ministries, institutions, and the media around the world. For 18 years prior to that, Gilad was a social worker in Israel and was involved in national policymaking related to out-of-home care for children at risk.

Dear Shula, I attended your PhD defense on water policy when you were at Heller. Nice to come across your name and to see how much has progressed since then. Any chance of seeing your final Theses/Dissertation? You warned me not to view the library copy, and you were going to make a revision. In your books it seems you did in one way or another.
Hi
I have forwarded your request to Shula.
