UW-Milwaukee: L&S Freshman Scholars Seminars

Fall 2008 Seminars

Communication

Communication and Conflict

Evelyn L. Ang, Lecturer

This is an introductory exploration of interpersonal conflict: its sources, consequences, and implications. Students will identify various conflict styles, including examining their own profiles with more than one type of conflict paradigm. We will explore some implications of cultural differences in communication, including how our own cultural filters may influence methods for resolving interpersonal conflict. Students will augment theory with skill-building experiences, with opportunities for learning nonviolent communication and active listening skills woven into the curriculum.Third-party interventions such as mediation, arbitration, litigation, and restorative practices will be introduced. Emphasis throughout will be on developing critical thinking skills.
