Through this program, students learn tools and frameworks for preventing, mitigating, and resolving conflicts across multiple dimensions, from complex global and societal conflicts around the world to the everyday conflicts in organizations and interpersonal relationships. Students explore the causes and consequences of conflict and its intersections with structures that perpetuate inequities and violence, as well as the conditions for collaboration and peace, for engagement across diverse stakeholders, and for effective conflict resolution. Students learn to understand a multi-faceted vision for transformed human relations incorporating a variety of disciplinary perspectives, including government, communications, history, management, and sociology, among others. In addition, students learn about and practice skills necessary for the peaceful resolution of conflicts. Students in the program may choose to focus on a wide range of topics, from disarmament to interpersonal and cross-cultural communication, from managing conflicts within organizations to political, religious, and social pluralism. This program provides the flexibility to pursue specific interests in conflict mitigation and resolution, and students may apply these interests to work in law, organizational leadership and business, policy, international diplomacy, and much more.
