Description

Prerequisite: PSY110 recommended. Techniques and methods of understanding and addressing conflict in diverse groups, organizations, and communities are explored. The course helps students develop the characteristics and skills of a good negotiator/mediator, who can effectively facilitate constructive changes in themselves, their families, workplaces, and communities. Theories and methods are applied to the classroom experience and off-campus settings, as appropriate. Students examine their assumptions about people who are different from themselves and explore how those assumptions influence how they interact with, and are perceived by other people. This course builds upon systems thinking.
