Understanding and Resolving Conflicts: An Approach for Graduate Students

We experience conflict every day. Ranging from small miscommunications to seemingly intractable values-based conflicts, we know how it feels to be in it, but how do we navigate conflict effectively and work towards resolutions? Participants will complete the Thomas-Kilmann conflict mode instrument to assess their personal conflict resolution style and work through scenarios with a variety of conflicts that graduate students may face, in order to workshop possible resolution strategies.
