Early career
Rouhana was born in
As part of his graduate work, he spent three years (1981-1984) at Harvard University, writing his dissertation under the mentorship of Dr. Herbert Kelman, and, later, two years (1987-1989) as a postdoctoral fellow. With Kelman, he worked on an approach to conflict resolution called the problem-solving workshop (PSW). Rouhana and Kelman later pioneered a new approach that built on the problem-solving workshop called the continuing workshop.[2][3] Informed by a socio-psychological approach, the continuing workshop features regular intensive meetings between high-ranking non-official individuals over a long period of time. The meetings are designed to facilitate constructive interaction between opposing parties in an effort to advance jointly formulated ideas on how to address major issues of dispute in a given conflict.[citation needed]
While at Harvard, Rouhana was a founding member of PICAR, a Program on International Conflict Analysis and Resolution that was based at the Weatherhead Center for International Affairs until 2003, and its Chair of Academic Programs. He also served as Co-Chair of the Seminar on International Conflict at the center.[4]
