For institutions
Hartwell supports universities, nonprofits, and public agencies seeking to improve how they handle disagreement, rebuild trust, and design more responsive processes.
Work
Practice, teaching, and public engagement rooted in dialogue.
Hartwell’s work brings together legal analysis, conflict facilitation, and institution-building. The goal is not simply to resolve disputes, but to create processes that are principled, reparative, and sustainable.
Focus areas
- Mediation and restorative processes for complex institutional disputes
- Facilitated training for legal and civic leaders navigating conflict
- Keynote lectures and workshops on dialogue, trust, and collective repair
- Advisory work for organizations building more humane decision systems
“The most durable forms of justice are not only legally defensible—they are also intelligible, human, and repair-oriented.”
For communities
She leads dialogues, restorative meetings, and public-facing learning experiences that help communities move from fracture toward constructive understanding.
