DRRC Intergroup Conflict & Cooperation Conference
"Unifying Disparate Perspectives to Foster Collaboration"
As the world’s unique groups and cultures continue to meld, opportunities for collaboration abound – as well as chances for conflict. How can society and organizations best leverage diversity’s potential?
The Dispute Resolution Research Center (DRRC) of Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University is hosting its inaugural Intergroup Conflict and Cooperation Conference, which aims to highlight cutting-edge research examining:
- Factors that influence the emergence and escalation of conflict between individuals from different social groups
- Strategies and contexts that can reduce conflict and increase collaboration
Featuring research from experts in the areas of anthropology, sociology, political science, psychology, and management, the one and a half day conference will explore topics of intergroup relations, immigration, ethnic and racial conflict, and political violence.
The DRRC is a nationally-recognized center for research on conflict, collaboration, dispute resolution, and negotiation. Learn more.
June 14-15, 2019
Registration is closed.
