Leveraging Polarities for Conflict Transformation
Tuesday, Dec. 2nd
1:30pm - 3:00pm
Metropolitan Building 5183
Join us at this brown bag to learn a new tool to transform conflicts! Dr. Elaine Yarbrough, visiting from Boulder, CO, will present Polarity Theory and teach the group how to identify, map and implement polarity thinking as a way to think about and intervene in conflict. Polarity theory helps shift thinking about conflicts as problems to solve into ongoing tensions to manage.
