Ombuds/Dispute Resolution Services for Faculty offers workshop opportunities throughout the year. Click on the archives below to find out about our past workshops.
The workshop presenters will examine “The Beauty of Conflict” by Clair Canfield, a lecturer at Utah State University, including different methods of shifting our perception of conflict as a negative experience towards understanding conflict’s ‘power to transform.’ In this TED talk, Canfield describes conflict as a “chrysalis of change… doorway of opportunity…and the first ray of light after a dark night.” We will find how communication can play a role in changing our understandings of conflict and discuss some implementable skills so that we too can practice the benefits of conflict, and maybe even find its beauty.
