Jennifer Parlamis

Professor Jennifer Parlamis's academic career has centered on pioneering social-psychological research in the areas of negotiation, conflict resolution, communication, and organization dynamics. Specifically, she studies the impact of technology on negotiation outcomes and the role of anger and incompetency emotions in negotiation and conflict contexts. In addition, she has written on ageism in organizations as well as negotiation pedagogy.

She employs the latest scholarly research to help students acquire skills and increase their awareness of effective interaction in business settings. Her classes often require real-world projects in for-profit as well as non-profit organizations in the Bay Area. She hopes that this applied experience will encourage students to become more deeply connected to the subject matter and more prepared to make the shift from student to leader in their organization.

When not teaching, conducting research, or consulting, Jennifer enjoys spending time with her husband and three kids, hiking with friends, listening to podcasts, and watching grand slam tennis.
