HDE 4100C - Conflict Analysis and Resolution

Credits: 4
How do we understand conflict and creatively and constructively transform it? This course introduces multidisciplinary approaches to understanding conflict and methods of conflict resolution as well as an opportunity to develop a repertoire of relevant conflict resolution skills. The course will survey the various theories that seek to explain the nature and root causes of conflict and examine existing methods of conflict resolution and transformation, paying particular attention to how our understanding of conflict shapes our efforts to respond to it. The primary focus of the course will be on conflict and its transformation at the interpersonal and intergroup levels.
