Summary:
Our guest speaker, Doug Lichtman, Professor of Law, UCLA School of Law, will draw on a variety of literatures and experiences to think through the art of asking and answering questions. Some of the materials will be drawn directly from interactions familiar to the HARRT audience; for example, we will think about questions an interviewer can effectively use to elicit useful information from an interviewee. Other materials will invite participants to think about the world from an unfamiliar perspective, however; for example, we will think about the questions a lawyer asks potential jurors in order to quickly ferret out harmful biases. The presentation will involve a mix of faculty lecture, group conversation, and small-group simulations.
*We are also very excited to announce that HARRT has been approved as a Recertification Provider by SHRM, so you can now earn Professional Development Credits (PDCs) for your SHRM-CP or SHRM-SCP by attending all our Round Tables.
