Dr. Nancy Glock-Grueneich has forty years experience facilitating complex and contentious conversations among diverse constituencies. She consults on systems change and community action and facilitates policy development processes that are complex or polarized dealing with education, climate, and public dispute resolution.

At Antioch McGregor, she has co-developed (with Sara Nora Ross), and is now teaching, their new program on Civic Development and Systemic Transformation, a graduate certificate and a concentration for their Masters in Conflict Analysis and Engagement.
