Welcome to the exciting world of conflict resolution! Conflict is inevitable in groups and can occur when two parties are working towards the same goal and generally want the same outcome, or when both parties want a very different settlement. This Minor is grounded in a commitment to interactive, dialogue-based methods of managing and resolving conflict. The focus is on building common ground, establishing dialogue, applying practical skills, ensuring representation and recognition, and forging relationships.
