3-part webinar series: Part 1 Managing conflict, Dec 3rd 12 noon, 90 minutes

Conflict is a part of any relationship. And is more frequent when, like in academia, stress is high and resources scarce. How we navigate conflict is what matters most. In this webinar we explore how to recognise key triggers for conflict in academic and supervisory relationships. We will learn to recognise our working style and our working needs (and those of our colleagues or students). Also, we will develop practical tools to approach important discussions and navigate potential clashes, learning to uncover the real issues underpinning the conflict and the role that context plays. The webinars are provided by Dickerson et al.
