This course provides students with an in-depth analysis of conflict resolution in many settings, primarily in employment relationships. Current theory in conflict resolution; the legal, ethical, and emotional issues that are common in disputes; and the format by which employment disputes are resolved will be examined. Students will also explore and define their own conflict resolution style. A seminar format, skill-building in the concepts and theories of conflict resolution and interest-based negotiation, analysis of readings, and experiential activities will be essential components of the class.
