| Conflict
Analysis & Resolution The Department of Conflict Analysis & Resolution (DCAR) is committed to academic excellence, cultural diversity, social responsibility, and reflective practice in the fields of peacemaking and conflict resolution. We focus on the study, practice, and research of conflict resolution to support improved social relations among individuals, groups, organizations, and nations. The department explores a variety of conflict resolution methods, wherein parties achieve constructive agreements based on the principles of nonviolence, equity, dignity, and appreciation for human diversity. The department serves as an academic catalyst for applied research, theoretical development, and the use of culturally informed techniques in cross cultural applications of conflict assessment and intervention. We take a learner centered approach to the study of peacemaking and conflict resolution, and encourage mid career learners to define and shape their intellectual and practice paths in a creative, rigorous, and structured fashion. The academic environment in the department is interdisciplinary, dynamic, and innovative, utilizing faculty expertise, student experience, learning technologies, and practitioners who are knowledgeable in conflict resolution skills and techniques.
