We all need better ways of working with each – from the playground to the battleground. Youth need to know better ways that are peaceful and collaborative, and military in field need to know about nonviolent ways of resolving differences."</i></div><div><span><span><br /></span></span></div><div><span><span>Smith will speak to UNCG undergrads about USIP’s work in promoting peacebuilding, conflict management and security, as well as careers in the field.

Getting people to play together is great for a multitude of reasons, but getting it to mean something is much harder. At this point, there are as more well documented examples of sport leading to negative conflict than positive peace. Just think of your favorite sports rivalry - any Celtic, Rangers, Barca or Real Madrid out there want to comment on how playing together does not always lead to cooperation? That is the role of researchers and pracademics in this field, we have to design and document processes that can demonstrate not just that but HOW this works...<a href="http://some%20of%20students%2C%20colleagues%2C%20and%20i%20have%20been%20discussing%20the%20issue%20of%20sport%20as%20both%20a%20lens%20for%20understanding%20conflict%20and%20as%20a%20tool%20for%20peacebuilding%20in%20a%20course%20in%20sport%2C%20peace%2C%20and%20conflict%20i%27m%20teaching%20this%20summer%20in%20conflict%20%26%20peace%20studies%20at%20uncg%20and%20a%20presentation%20i%20gave%20at%20the%204th%20international%20conference%20on%20conflict%20resolution%20in%20education.%20i%27ve%20also%20been%20following%20meeghan%20zahorsky%27s%20blog%20on%20this%20site.%20here%20some%20some%20thoughts.%20i%20think%20we%20have%20to%20continue%20to%20see%20sport%20as%20a%20%22tool%22%20for%20peacebuilding%20-%20essentially%20as%20a%20means%20rather%20than%20an%20%22end%22%20state.%20getting%20people%20to%20play%20together%20is%20great%20for%20a%20multitude%20of%20reasons%2C%20but%20getting%20it%20to%20mean%20something%20is%20much%20harder.%20at%20this%20point%2C%20there%20are%20as%20more%20well%20documented%20examples%20of%20sport%20leading%20to%20negative%20conflict%20than%20positive%20peace.%20just%20think%20of%20your%20favorite%20sports%20rivalry%20-%20any%20celtic%2C%20rangers%2C%20barca%20or%20real%20madrid%20out%20there%20want%20to%20comment%20on%20how%20playing%20together%20does%20not%20always%20lead%20to%20cooperation/?%20That%20is%20the%20role%20of%20researchers%20and%20pracademics%20in%20this%20field,%20we%20have%20to%20design%20and%20document%20processes%20that%20can%20demonstrate%20not%20just%20that%20but%20HOW%20this%20works">more</a></div></div>Conflict Resolution Facultyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02343849973923560881noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4996469343703947549.post-4468441990207973262011-05-30T17:32:00.002-04:002011-05-30T17:43:13.848-04:00Crtitical Issues in Peace and Conflict Studies<span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"><em>Released this month is Critical Issues in Peace and Conflict Studies: Theory, Practice, and Pedagogy co-edited by Tom Matyok, Sean Byrne, and Jessica Senehi.

But the mediation and arbitration fields continue to grow at an above-average pace, in part because the legal system is such a pricey slog. Mediation and arbitration tend to be cheaper and quicker methods for reaching resolutions. Jurisdictions seem increasingly aware of the value in mediation, as all have alternative dispute resolution programs and some now require alternative resolution among certain disputants.

In Conflict Studies at UNCG, we're happy to help! Although there are many <a href="https://sites.google.com/a/uncg.edu/swhayes/teaching/conflict-careers">different career options</a> for people with a graduate degree like ours, one that some people choose is to become a <a href="http://www.princetonreview.com/Careers.aspx?cid=204">mediator</a>. If you weren't considering this as a viable career option before USA's new show <a href="http://www.usanetwork.com/series/fairlylegal/">Fairly Legal</a>, maybe you are now. The website for the show offers an interactive game that asks "<a href="http://www.usanetwork.com/series/fairlylegal/games/profiler1/">Could you be a mediator"</a>. While it's all in fun, it may lead you to ask some questions like <a href="http://www.payscale.com/research/US/Job=Arbitrator_/_Mediator_/_Conciliator/Salary">can I make money</a> doing this? What kinds of graduate options are available for me?

The paper, <i>The Role of Collaboration in Preparing Graduates for Global Citizenship</i>, proposes that in the rapidly changing global landscape, students need the grounding of a liberal education with the fluidity of learning beyond disciplines. Within this process, knowledge borders are destroyed and knowledge flows freely among disciplines without disciplinary ownership.
