Susan Mossman Riva, PhD

As an American and Swiss national I apply an international perspective to narrative conflict resolution. My needs assessment research in public health as well as my interdisciplinary methods have generated various forms of social innovation. I develop transformational processes for individual, organizational, and social transformation. I teach several courses in the medical anthropology program at Creighton University – the social and cultural determinants of health, a transformative approach to complementary and alternative medicine, cultural epidemiology, and conflict resolution. I also teach mediation at the University of Geneva's Valais Campus.
