MCR 613 - Intercultural Conflict Resolution 3 Credit Hours
Using a social justice lens, this course explores how our cultural biases, conscious and implicit, shape our decisions and influence how we interact with others in the workplace, home, classroom, and community. It also offers up theories and practical tools for hw to effectively engage in the process of intercultural conflict resolution. Personal and professional implications are investigated, with a particular focus on the intersectionality of identities such as race, age, gender, class, and country of origin. Further, values and traditions are investigated as to their impact on attitude, comportment, and decision-making. Finally, a hands-on individual project allows the participant to apply theri learning to a real-life intercultural situation possibly leading to conflict, attempting to avoid its negative consequences, and conceptualizing a practical and realistic solution and closure. In addition to the individual project, students are invited to actively engage each other in robust discussions around class material and to reflect on what they are learning in individual journal entries.
