Building Conflict-Resilient Law Schools: Lessons from University of Haifa's Response to October 7th

John E. Jaqua Academic Center for Student Athletes 101

In the aftermath of October 7, 2023, conversations in the University of Haifa Law School were difficult and tensions high. The law school and the university as a whole, with nearly half its students of Arab descent and a long history of inclusion, were looking for ways to maintain both safety and open dialogue during acute crisis. To promote respectful, civil dialogue, Dr. Faina Milman-Sivan (Associate Professor and then-Vice Dean for Teaching) and Dana Feinreich-Giloh (Clinical Director, Dispute Resolution Clinic) developed the "Shared Life Dialogic Framework” including collaboratively drafted Guidelines for Respectful Discourse.” Rather than imposing top-down rules or restricting speech, they facilitated a participatory, consensus-building process that created space for deeply-rooted positions, active listening, and respectful dialogue across profound divisions.

After presentations at Harvard, NYLS and University of Cincinnati earlier this month, Faina Milman-Sivan and Dana Feinreich-Giloh will visit UO to share their experiences developing, implementing, and adapting these framework and guidelines. They’ll reflect on how they have tried to balance a version of freedom of expression with inclusion and civility in a time of war. They’re now extending these guidelines into the space of expression on social media. They also have noted the similarity of their guidelines to UO’s Shared Principles for Educational Events on the Conflict in Israel-Palestine (which they consider unique in North America), and look forward to comparing our parallel experiences with ensuring civility, respect and inclusion.

Professor Faina Milman-Sivan is Associate Professor of Law and Vice Dean for International Affairs at the University of Haifa Faculty of Law, where she previously served as Vice Dean for Teaching (2021-2024). She holds an LLM (summa cum laude) and JSD from Columbia Law School and clerked at the Israeli Supreme Court under former Chief Justice Dorit Beinisch. Her research spans international labor law, prison labor regulation, and workplace conflict resolution. She is co-editor of Global Justice and International Labor Law (Cambridge, 2016) and serves as chair of the Israeli Employment and Labor Law Scholars Forum. Her scholarship, supported by the Israeli Science Foundation and German-Israeli Foundation, has influenced judicial decisions, including landmark rulings on prisoner wages and freedom of association. Following the events of October 7, Professor Milman-Sivan, then serving as Vice Dean for Teaching, led the University of Haifa Law Faculty's response to campus polarization.

Dana Giloh is an attorney-at-law, certified mediator, and social worker (MSW, specialization in Couple and Family Therapy). She is the founder and head of the Mediation Legal Clinic at the University of Haifa Faculty of Law, where she teaches negotiation, mediation, and conflict resolution and supervises clinical and community-based initiatives. Giloh has over a decade of experience in teaching and practicing mediation across diverse contexts, including family conflicts, small claims courts, and cases involving individuals with mental health challenges. She has trained mediators in leading institutions such as the Israeli Bar Association and municipal mediation centers. Following the events of October 7, she led a consensus-building process at the Faculty of Law, fostering inclusive dialogue and institutional resilience.

Jeremiah Public Lecture: "Consent and Sexual Violence in Contemporary Japan: Rethinking Autonomy, Choice, and Equality Under the Law"
October 27
4:00–5:30 p.m.
Chiles Hall 128

What does it mean to give consent when social, economic, and institutional pressures make refusal difficult? This talk examines sexual violence in contemporary Japan to challenge liberal ideals of autonomy, choice, and legal equality. Drawing on Involuntary Consent: The Illusion of Choice in Japan’s Adult Video Industry (Stanford, 2023) and new NHK survey data, Takeyama shows how “involuntary consent” emerges through structural inequalities, workplace hierarchies, and gendered expectations like emotional labor. Linking commercial sex work to everyday experiences, she calls for rethinking how law, culture, and power define sexual harm—and for imagining consent that accounts for relational and structural constraints.

Presented by: Akiko Takeyama, PhD, Professor of Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies, Director of the Center for East Asian Studies, University of Kansas.

Hosted by: Haruka Nagao, PhD, Assistant Professor, Deparmtent of Global Studies, University of Oregon.

Event sponsors: Global Studies Institute, Center for Asian and Pacific Studies.
