Conflict Resolution for Scientists

Science is not just about equations, experiments, and data. There is also the human element, and experience shows that all does not always go smoothly. From interacting with an advisor, supervising students, navigating departmental politics, to dealing with the dreaded Reviewer #2, conflicts can and do arise. Rather than being sources of annoyance or frustration, handled skillfully conflicts can become opportunities for positive change.

In this two-hour workshop, conflict specialist Dana Caspersen introduces scientists to simple and effective tools for constructively engaging with the conflicts we inevitably encounter, and transforming them into opportunities for positive change.

Attendance is free for graduate students, postdocs, or researchers in any field of science. Online access instructions are provided after registration.

This workshop is hosted by Jonathan Lilly (http://www.jmlilly.net), an oceanographer at the Planetary Science Institute (https://www.psi.edu), a nonprofit research center.

Dana Caspersen (https://danacaspersen.com) is conflict engagement specialist, award-winning performing artist, and author. Her book, Changing the Conversation: The 17 Principles of Conflict Resolution (A Joost Elffers Book), has been translated into eight languages and is widely used as a training tool by organizations, schools, and individuals worldwide. Her work integrating conflict engagement strategies with choreographic methodologies has brought together thousands of people from diverse communities around the world.
