This course discusses and uses a variety of role-plays
and simulations to explore the issues involved in
negotiation, coalition building, representation,
facilitation, meeting management, mediation,
communication, rules of decision, consensus building
and other issues which are presented when multiple
parties seek to resolve their conflicts and disputes
outside of conventional models. The course will focus
on issues of group dynamics and processes of decision
making. Students will learn how to be an effective part
of a group and will experience leading and managing
group processes. Thus, they will learn from being inside
group processes and complex conflict situations, as well
as standing outside of them to analyze and lead them.
