Daniel Green

Daniel Green is a graduate of McGill University where he studied Philosophy and Political Science, focusing on Ethics and International Relations.  Insight Partners first met Dan as a participant in a Negotiation Open Enrollment Workshop in his hometown of Toronto.  In 2004, Dan continued his study of principled negotiation and effective communication while serving as an Insight Partners Summer Intern.  Dan furthered his exploration of these disciplines during his year-long Insight Fellowship.  During the course of his Fellowship, he worked in Boston helping to develop program infrastructure for the benefit of future Fellows, co-founded a volunteer program in a Buddhist monastery in Tibet, interned and consulted with a conflict resolution training firm in India, and led a research team focused on microfinance-based conflicts in Uganda. The theme of Dan’s Fellowship centered on the role of emotions in negotiation. He conducted research on the ideas developed in Roger Fisher and Daniel Shapiro’s “Beyond Reason: Using Emotions as you Negotiate.” After conducting academic and field research on Fisher and Shapiro’s “core concerns” framework, Dan presented his findings to the Insight Collaborative in a paper entitled “The Tipping Point: the Role of Autonomy and Affiliation in Negotiation Breakdown.”

Following his experiences as an Insight Fellow, Dan continued working in the field of conflict management by pursuing opportunities in the non-profit and for-profit sectors in Canada and Argentina before starting graduate studies at the School of International and Public Affairs (SIPA) at Columbia University in the fall of 2007.
