MCR 627 - Conflict Resolution in the Community 3 hours
This course is grounded in the concept that construction of social meaning lies at the heart of how human conflict is created and understood. “Social conflict emerges and develops on the basis of the meaning and interpretation people involved attach to action and events…From this starting point, conflict is connected to meaning, meaning to knowledge, and knowledge is rooted in culture.” [Lederach 1995, p. 8] In this course we will explore processes of addressing conflict in communities in ways that view conflict as normal and continuous dynamic that provides opportunities for creative constructive change in human relationships and in communities. This course is offered with an elicited-approach to learning, viewing our learning as a process of co-creation, emerging from the context of our experiences and conversations. In our work together, we will learn about conflict, different approaches to conflict in a community setting, and explore and apply resources for conflict transformation in communities.
