Students explore the principles of conflict and conflict resolution in the context of natural resource management. Topics include a definition of conflict, how conflict arises, and how consensus is achieved by facilitation, interest-based negotiation, and mediation, with emphasis placed on moving beyond simple problem-solving to the actual resolution of underlying conflicts and issues. Students engage in hands-on role-playing exercises that simulate past, current, and emerging conflicts in the natural resource sector.
Prerequisite: Minimum 3rd year standing in the Bachelor of Natural Resource Science program or permission of the Natural Resource Science program coordinator.
