IP 508 A Case in Conflict

This course examines a particular case of conflict through the lens and application of conflict assessment and analysis tools in order to understand and explain the conflict, its causes, and opportunities for transformation. It also includes a field study component where the class travels to the site of the conflict for 7-9 days to learn about the case. The course and corresponding field study trip delve into the particular history, context and events of a conflict and require students to grapple with complexity and nuance. Students learn and apply specific conflict assessment tools like stakeholder analysis, conflict trees, timeline development and conflict mapping to break down the conflict into smaller components and identify intervention opportunities as well as transformation strategies. The final project of the course is a stakeholder analysis.
