80-242: Conflict and Dispute Resolution
Are you willing to challenge your pre-conceived notions about yourself and others regarding conflict? Recognizing the influence of gender and culture, and using Needs, Power and Conflict Style theories, along with other concepts, this course requires you to examine and understand different ways to engage in or avoid conflict. Your learning process will be enhanced with the use of self-assessment tools including Myers-Briggs and the Intercultural Conflict Style Inventory. These and other self-assessments are integral to understanding that conflict is influenced by individual preferences. In addition to lectures and discussions, in-class activities will include role-plays, negotiation games, and analysis of real-life conflicts. As the semester progresses, your and your classmates¿ areas of interest will be incorporated into the course materials. Because each student brings a wealth of knowledge and experience regarding conflict, there are no prerequisites.
