Intercultural Negotiations

1.00 credits · Undergraduate

An intercultural mediator must facilitate the negotiation of contracts, strategies, conflicts and other relations with fluid sensitivity to cross-cultural meanings. This course provides both theoretical training and practical experience in the mediation of potentially conflicting habits, emotions, motivations and contexts between cultures. Students learn specific cultural applications of phase models, computer mediated communication, social justice problems, and conflict resolution strategies, eventually putting these skills into practice using their language other than English.
