Abstract
Description
Intercultural and Cross-cultural conflict have long been regarded as mutually interchangeable concepts; they are not. In this course we will explore how these very different types of conflicts require different skillsets to manage the resultant conflict that has become essential part of living in an increasingly globalized and diverse society. As people from different cultures interact on a daily basis, intercultural and cross-cultural conflict likely arises from perceived cultural differences in beliefs, norms, and values, and from cultural misunderstanding or ignorance and different expectations. This course has been designed to look at the impact different cultural spaces/institutions on conflict namely religion, politics and race and ethnicity. These key cultural spaces will be analyzed from a local, national and international perspective to gauge impact and how we can intervene constructively.
Real World Conflict Application: While we will be doing conventional role plays in the class (where we use hypothetical cases and scenarios to have you work through analyzing the conflict dilemma and skills development where necessary), some of you will also be using conflicts in the real world. Some of these may occur during the semester, but some will require you to think about potential future scenarios.
