    Biography

    Professor Lisa Blomgren Amsler (formerly Bingham) has served on O'Neill’s faculty since 1992. She is an expert in collaborative governance, public engagement, dispute resolution, and labor law with more than 100 published works. Her 2005 article on new governance practice (co-authored with Tina Nabatchi and Rosemary O’Leary) was named one of the “75 Most Influential Articles” of the past 75 years by Public Administration Review. Her lead article on workplace mediation (co-authored with Cynthia J. Hallberin, Denise A. Walker and Won-Tae Chung) and published in Harvard Negotiation Law Review, is on the Social Science Research Network all-time Top 10 list of most downloaded articles in conflict resolution.

    Amsler has received national awards from four different professional associations. In 2014, the American Bar Association honored Amsler for Outstanding Scholarship foundational to the field of dispute resolution. She received the Rubin Theory-to-Practice award from the International Association for Conflict Management for research that affected practice and the Abner award from the Association for Conflict Resolution for excellence in research on labor and employment relations in the public sector. Professor Amsler’s book titled The Promise and Performance of Environmental Conflict Resolution, co-edited with Rosemary O’Leary, was designated the Best Book Award by The American Society for Public Administration.

    Amsler is also the Saltman Senior Scholar at the William S. Boyd School of Law, University of Nevada, Las Vegas.
