Workshop: LEARNing to Collaborate and Manage Conflict
February 22, 2019 | 12:00 am - 1:30 am EST
This interactive 90-minute workshop has two goals: (1) To invite participants to consider how their communication might help construct an environment that invites collaboration and proactively manages conflict through open communication and relationship-building; and (2) To practice distinguishing interests from positions so that participants learn to manage conflicts through a collaborative focus on underlying interests rather than positional or adversarial negotiation. The workshop is grounded in the LEARN model developed by Jameson (2014) which includes Listening, Engaging, Acknowledging, (building) Rapport, and Nurturing (relationships).
Jessica Katz Jameson is Professor of Communication at North Carolina State University.

Her work appears in outlets such as Conflict Resolution Quarterly, Journal of Health Communication, Negotiation and Conflict Management Research, Negotiation Journal, and Western Journal of Communication.
