This course considers conflict resolution methods in several different types of contexts: personal and family, organizational and work, and international peace-making. Among the methods analyzed and practiced in role playing exercises are: methods for resisting win-lose behaviors, dialogic methods for developing creative solutions to conflicts, circle practices, and various third-party facilitation and mediation techniques. Personal skill development as well as careers in conflict resolution are explored. In addition, different types of personal and communal philosophical, religious, and spiritual approaches to conflict resolution are considered, with particular attention to how these viewpoints include indigenous and post/decolonial knowledge.
