Course Details

|
Building on Approaches to Conflict Resolution I, learners will continue to develop conflict resolution skills relevant to a career in public safety by focusing on interpersonal communication and a collaborative approach to resolving conflict. Learners will further develop their practical skills by examining case studies like the Oka Crisis, Delgamuukw v. British Columbia, the Ipperwash Inquiry Report, the Mount Polley Mine disaster, and the Wet'suwet'en Solidarity Protests. Further, learners will use Indigenous methods of conflict resolution to examine community-based conflict resolution processes like band council resolutions, mediations, treaty resolutions, sentencing circles, and traditional systems-based approaches. Learners will continue to develop interpersonal communication skills by participating in dialogue that focuses on relationship building, interpersonal and intercultural communication, group simulations, and case studies to critically analyze historical conflicts between law enforcement and Indigenous Nations.
