Duke Fisher has been a trainer of conflict resolution and restorative justice since
1988. Duke is a straight-talking, tireless advocate for respectful collaborative conflict
resolution, and gets his point across through the use of wisecracks, good films and
experiential exercises known to encourage groups to have fun, take risks and learn
from each other. In 1999, he founded Learning Laboratories, an independent training
venture that finds creative ways to address difficult topics, including workshops
on restorative justice, family conflict resolution, responding to discrimination,
and building collaborative teams to assemble care for a differently-abled child. He
has brought powerful workshops to schools, universities, conferences, prisons, agencies,
and to graduate students at Hofstra Law School, where Duke was until recently a Special
Professor of Law. Duke is the 2007 “Lawrence P. Cooke Peace Innovator Award” recipient
recognized for his never ending search for creative methods to support effective learning.
He has a B.A. from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
