The field of conflict management is one that draws from a variety of interdisciplinary arenas and perspectives. A great deal of the foundational theory and practice within the sphere of conflict management roots in psychology, particularly, social psychology. This class will explore an empirically grounded perspective on the psychological dimensions of intra-personal, interpersonal, intra- and inter-group conflict. It is intended to provide an overview of issues related to human aggression, conflict, violence, and peace based on the premise that an understanding of these issues can contribute to a greater understanding of and ability to manage conflict between individuals, groups and societies. In this capacity, we will examine a variety of psychological concepts and how they relate to both the theory and practice of conflict management.
