Advanced Seminar on Conflict Transformation and Reconciliation: Theology and Practice

1 credits · Divinity School

This advanced seminar equips students with theological insight, spiritual depth and best practices to cultivate transformative engagement with conflict. Grounded in the gospel's call to love, dignity, courage, community, and nonviolence, it provides hands-on experience in facilitating conflict transformation methods across interpersonal, intragroup, intergroup, and broader contexts. The seminar prepares students to engage relational tensions and to recognize the narratives and power dynamics that shape the conditions in which conflict is either transformed or reinforced. This formation enables students to continue frameworks that nurture communal renewal rather than community breakdown. Prerequisite: WXTIAN 845
