Anselm Dannecker

  • German by birth, accent and weird mannerisms; currently based in Somerville, MA with my wife.

  • I am a Fellow at the Negotiation and Conflict Resolution Collaboratory at HKS currently focussing on climate negotiations. Negotiation consulting and trainings on the side.

  • Interested in changing my interests about every other week: Currently, I cannot get enough of the history of negotiation (esp. sovereign debt negotiations) and behavioral neurosciences.

  • I am fascinated by hearing about the pathways of people especially when they are very far away from “home.” Love talking about Vanagons, remote life and cooking; hate talking about visa issues but tend to do it a lot. Since this year, I identify as a climber in the hope that I will keep at it if I truly believe in being one.

Patrick Maxwell

  • For now, I’m based in the greater Boston area; I’m a recent JD/MA graduate from Harvard Law School and the Fletcher School at Tufts.

  • I worked in conflict zones in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and South Sudan for four years before graduate school. Currently, I want to contribute to, and deepen, the understanding of “peacebuilding” within the United States -- whether in responding to extremist violence, addressing identity polarization, or negotiating resolutions to conflict.

  • My primary “toolset” is some mixture of interests-based negotiation, conflict analysis, social psychology, systems theory, and interpersonal communications.

  • In my leisure time, I spend a lot of time on improv theater, tabletop RPGs, craft cocktails, and my dog, Millie.
