How can we productively harness conflict and change in the workplace, to foster genuine dialogue, facilitate effective processes, and build towards better outcomes? This course will focus on the role of productive conflict and change individually, interpersonally, institutionally, structurally/systemically, and globally when working on projects for social change. Students will explore the ways that identity, culture, power, and intercultural issues shape one’s engagement in diverse workplaces through an examination of frameworks, literature, resources, and case studies. Students will engage in a range of individual and peer discussions/assignments on intercultural frameworks, conflict, change, communication, collaboration/partnership, leadership, and mentorship – integrating case studies, critical reflections, intercultural method skill building, and vignettes from practitioners. Ultimately, students will develop a mitigation plan for conflict and change as well as a philosophy/set of guiding principles for engaging in intercultural conflict transformation in their present and future professional work.
