On negotiation stories on the path to peace with Joshua Weiss
About this episode
Joshua Weiss discusses the importance of stories in negotiation and his new community-based project on negotiation stories.
In this episode of the Podcast on Negotiation On Negotiation Stories on the Path to Peace , we speak with Joshua Weiss about the human stories that shape negotiation, conflict resolution, and peacebuilding. Josh reflects on his own path into the field, what first drew him to negotiation and mediation, and how his work has evolved through scholarship, practice, and teaching. We also revisit his recent work on failure in negotiation, exploring what failure can teach us and why it remains such an important and often overlooked part of learning. From there, the conversation turns to the power of stories: why they matter so deeply in negotiation, what they reveal that courses and workshops alone sometimes cannot, and how personal experience can open new ways of understanding conflict, connection, and change. A major focus of the episode is Josh’s new project, a community-based database of negotiation stories.

We also explore the kinds of stories that stay with us and what makes a negotiation story…
