This environmental conflict management short-course is taught by Dr. Lara Fowler, an attorney, mediator, and faculty member at Penn State. She has mediated and/or facilitated challenging conflicts such as groundwater storage in the greater Los Angeles area; how to address flooding in a river basin in Washington State; and how to manage water supplies between agriculture, cities, and fish. She recently completed a Fulbright focused on managing complex water dynamics in Sweden’s Uppsala University’s Peace and Conflict Research Department.
