Subject outline

In this subject we aim to - (i) develop skills in, and a critical understanding of, the practical aspects of dispute resolution via negotiation, mediation and conciliation; and (ii) provide insights and skills in fostering community engagement processes as a means of enhancing community development. The issues that emerge from examining disputes and concerns that arise from changes to our physical, professional, community and personal environments are examined in order to provide a more advanced understanding of techniques for managing community conflicts and for fostering public participation in decision-making.
