Laura Manukyan, the First Armenian Research Assistant at ISET-PI
- Details
Laura Manukyan from Yerevan, Armenia, recently joined the ISET-PI team as a research assistant at ISET-PI’s Social Policy Research Center (SPRC).
Laura graduated in the summer of this year from ISET. She wrote her master thesis, titled “Rubinstein Bargaining at the Court”, on a game theoretic model of bargaining under supervision of Professor Florian Biermann. In her master thesis, Laura changes the famous game-theoretic model of bargaining that was proposed by Ariel Rubinstein in the early 1980’s. While in principle, Rubinstein’s sequential bargaining process could go on forever, in Laura’s model the bargaining ends exogenously after a finite number of stages, when – in case of unsuccessful negotiations of the players – a mediator makes a decision on how to resolve the conflict.

Resident faculty participated in ISET's Ongoing Professional Development Pedagogical Course. This year’s course followed on from the 2015 program, which consisted of consultations, practical sessions and feedback on teaching methods, as well as discussions relating the participants' own professional experiences.
The 2016 course focused on collaborative observations and shared discussions of teaching classes. The participants took one of two roles - teacher or observer - followed by collaborative discussions between all parties, including the Pedagogical Mentor and a student assistant. The final step was written feedback from the Pedagogical Mentor to the teacher on a confidential basis.
