There are several false assumptions about gender and negotiation that women do not negotiate; that women cannot negotiate effectively; and that women should not negotiate. In fact, these are myths. Andrea Schneider debunks these assumptions and more, as she discussed gender and its role in negotiation.

She also runs Marquette’s nationally ranked dispute resolution program. Professor Schneider has edited and coauthored several books and has published law review articles and book chapters on negotiation, gender, international conflict and dispute systems design.

Professor Schneider was named 2009 Woman of the Year by the Wisconsin Law Journal and received her A.B. cum laude from the Woodrow Wilson School of International Affairs and Public Policy at Princeton University and her J.D. cum laude from Harvard Law School. She also received a Diploma from the Academy of European Law in Florence, Italy.
