Join us for a panel discussion with Professor Susan Sgorbati, Dr. Camille Quinn, and William Froehlich.
Susan Sgorbati is the director of the Elizabeth Coleman Center for the Advancement of Public Action at Bennington College, where she was the former Dean of Faculty and holds the Barbara and Lewis Jones Chair for Social Activism. She created and directs the Conflict Resolution program and curriculum at Bennington that includes courses in negotiation, mediation, environmental dispute resolution, conflict resolution theory, complex systems design, and court processes. Sgorbati founded Quantum Leap, an organization that has reconnected more than 2,000 elementary, middle, and high school students to their education in the Southwest Vermont Supervisory Union who are truant, at risk, or have dropped out of school. Sgorbati co-created and was the first director of the Governor’s Institutes of Vermont, a summer residential program for adolescents in the state of Vermont.
Dr. Camille R. Quinn joined the faculty at The Ohio State University (OSU) College of Social Work in 2016. Drawing from prior clinical and administrative experience in social and health services with children and families involved with or at risk of involvement with the juvenile/criminal and child welfare systems, Quinn investigates mechanisms that underlie individual and structural barriers associated with recidivism and comorbid mental health disparities. Her mixed methods research is guided by race-based, criminological, and social determinants of health theories to inform and culturally tailor interventions for youth of color to reduce their recidivism and mental health burden.
William “Bill” Froehlich is the Deputy Director of the Divided Community Project and the Langdon Fellow in Dispute Resolution at The Ohio State University Moritz College of Law where he teaches mediation, negotiation and alternative dispute resolution and manages Moritz’s top ranked Program on Dispute Resolution. A former labor attorney, Bill served as an advocate in mediation, arbitration and other dispute resolution forums. Bill earned his J.D. from The Ohio State University, Moritz College of Law and is a graduate of Denison University.
The discussion will be moderated by Assistant Professor of Dance Daniel Roberts. It is made possible by the Migration, Mobility and Immobility Project of the Global Arts + Humanities Discovery Theme.
