Professor Samuel Osei
Group Conflict Resolution
Professor Samuel Osei is known for his expertise in group conflict resolution and negotiation. As Lead Faculty Member, he has published widely on the dynamics of shared living, with a special focus on preventing and managing roommate finance disputes. His best-known book examines how empathy and practical routines transform group relationships.
Professor Osei consults with mediation services and local councils, helping to
create resources for fair and open dialogue in shared homes. He is recognised
for developing frameworks that address misunderstandings before they become
major disputes, and for training facilitators to lead calm, productive group
meetings.
He has taught extensively in community settings and at universities, where his
clear structure and supportive presence encourage students to speak up about
difficult topics. His methods blend evidence-based negotiation techniques with a
focus on everyday, realistic roommate challenges.
