Although we negotiate all the time, both in our professional and personal lives, most of us have not systematically learned and practiced effective negotiation strategies. Negotiating is a skill that can be learned and improved. But, like playing tennis or chess, it requires know-how and practice.

This course will pair a feminist study of immigration with theories of settler-colonialism; that is, the study of North America as Indigenous land settled by (predominantly European) colonizers.
