About HKS Professor Julia Minson
Julia Minson, PhD, is a Professor of Public Policy at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government and author of How to Disagree Better published in March 2026.
She is also the founder of Disagreeing Better, LLC. — a behavioral science consulting firm that offers speaking and training on effective management of disagreement and conflict.
As a decision scientist, Julia’s research interests include conflict management, negotiations, and judgment and decision making. Her main line of research addresses the “psychology of disagreement” – How do people engage with opinions, values, and judgments that conflict with their own?
Much of Julia’s research is conducted in collaboration with the graduate and post-doctoral members of Constructive Disagreement Lab (CDL). Julia is also the founder of the Constructive Disagreement Project — a project dedicated to disseminating cutting edge research and developing interventions for professionals in government, education, healthcare, and the media.
