CONF 704

This course is intended to provide participants with the analytic tools needed to conduct their own research on conflict and conflict resolution, using a narrative perspective. Specifically, this course is designed to enable students to a) review the key narrative research in the field of conflict resolution; c) design a narrative analysis of conflict; and c) conduct a narrative analysis of conflicts. As narrative approaches to conflict analysis are varied and a function of the multiple theoretical traditions that are available for narrative analysis, this course will function as a review of these theoretical traditions. In summary, the course is designed to both make students familiar with the narrative research in the field of conflict resolution, and offers them an opportunity to conduct narrative analysis.
