Conflict Resolution

What makes some conflicts escalate? In what ways can the skills to use words wisely shape the resolution of disputes? Can language and education help us find common ground? Conflict Resolution: Exploring the Interface of Language and Education invites you to see how confrontation can transform into cooperation. The volume reveals how communication builds bridges where divisions once stood, e.g. in courtrooms, classrooms, media, public relations, science communication or religious discourse. With its interdisciplinary focus, this collection unites linguistics and educational sciences to show why mastering conflict resolution strategies is essential to addressing the conflicts that define our time.
