Download or read book A Higher Education Equity Walk in The Struggle for American Identity written by Lenford Sutton and published by Lenford Sutton . This book was released on 2024-02-03 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Higher Education Equity Walk in the Struggle for American Identity offers a compelling case study by Lenford Sutton recounting the author's parallel experience as the first black man to serve as the tempered radical in a historically white learning community. In the Southwest. Drawing parallels with the tragic fate of Ahmad Aubry in an unwelcoming community, Sutton sheds light on the visible and unseen cultural frameworks, racial habits, and value gaps leaders from non-dominant groups navigate when pursuing Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion goals and objects within the university strategic plans of Historically White Institutions. In addition, it captures deep reflection from the experience, reframing problems in the spirit of Design Thinking with particular emphasis on Empathy as the Gateway to problem-solving. Recognizing that Digital transformation, both cultural and demographic shifts, are the drivers of enormous changes that foster fear and increased uncertainty, the text emphasizes the new learnings and recommendations for leaders operating in similar circumstances. It connotes that tempered radicals often reside at the intersection of innovation and the status quo and, in the current cultural and technological disruption of higher education, can serve the institution well if deployed appropriately by university leadership to scale its culture.

Download or read book Conflict Management and Dialogue in Higher Education written by Nancy T. Watson and published by IAP. This book was released on 2017-10-01 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses an important topic - Conflict, mediation and dialogue. Conflicts are a part of life. Although many people assume conflicts are negative and, therefore, should be avoided, conflict is truly neutral. The engagement in conflict is what can be constructive or destructive. There are many positive outcomes experienced when a conflict is well managed, hence the critical role of this book. For instance, most change is driven by some level of conflict. You must learn, grow and develop effective conflict management skills as a way to manage change. Thus, the conflicts we deal with in our personal lives and in the workplace are essential to our development and our organizations' healthy development. However, if managed poorly, some conflicts can escalate to the point that they can destroy individuals or organizations. As illustrated in this book, the key to managing conflicts is to understand conflicts; expect conflicts, and manage conflicts before they escalate into destructive or costly loss of personnel, diminished climate or lead to lawsuits. The book provides one of the growing and recognized methods of dealing with conflicts - mediation and dialogue. The contents of this book reflect areas of importance addressed in mediation training: alternative dispute resolution practices, conflict management intervention options, models of thinking about conflict, the mediation format, and the skill set needed by a strong conflict management and mediator. Readers are challenged to reflect upon their biases and beliefs that may negatively impact the mediation process.
Download or read book Cultural Impact on Conflict Management in Higher Education written by Nancy T. Watson and published by IAP. This book was released on 2018-07-01 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cultural Impact on Conflict Management in Higher Education shares information regarding conflict management and resolution in higher education from a global perspective. In this book, we introduced many conflict resolution methods from different regions in the world. You can borrow some successful strategies and examine the differences and similarities between contexts. The book shares a conflict resolution model which may direct the reader to start thinking about addressing and managing conflicts from different levels of organizations. This book is a collective work of authors coming from all over the world. We chose higher education as the context because it is a place where diverse thoughts, perspectives, and people come together. Because of the potential richness of diversity on a college campus, the opportunity for conflicts occurs. Managing conflict does not work when there is a “one-way only approach/model” for addressing conflict. Some conflict resolution encompasses multiple dimensions: (a) one’s personal beliefs or beliefs about an issue; (b) an individual’s personal history in terms of how the conflict was perceived as something to be discussed or not; (c) work culture of the conflict where if ‘one has a conflict,’ the person or unit is messing up or there is a problem person; (d) the unconscious strategies of ‘face saving’ (trying to maintain one’s image) present; (e) social hierarchies or relationships; and (f) the diversity dimensions and issues that may be present.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Higher education institutions are arenas to which students from diverse background come to the Show - education. However, as much as students' diversity is an input for teaching and learning, it can lead to misunderstandings and conflicts, which affect the academic and social climate of campuses. Universities therefore need to be equipped with diversity-sensitive- conflict-management mechanisms. This book discusses the causes of campus conflicts and their management mechanisms from a multicultural perspective.

It can be useful to higher education institutions, to education and diversity professionals and to those who work on conflict management areas.

Download or read book Reframing Campus Conflict written by Jennifer Meyer Schrage and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-07-03 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This fully revised and updated second edition builds upon the original vision of the first, which was to give voice to diverse and inclusive perspectives, identities, and practices and to enact the principle that student conduct and conflict response must be based upon foundations of social justice and restorative justice to disrupt and transform overly legalistic and escalated management applications in student conduct administration. The Spectrum Model (Schrage & Thompson, 2008) approach centers advocacy for inclusive conflict excellence by expanding traditional adjudication pathways to include dialogue, conflict coaching, mediation, restorative practices, and shuttle diplomacy for a more robust and inclusive expression of conflict and conduct practices. In the intervening decade, this co-edited work has become more relevant than ever as colleges and universities continue to be the targets of litigation, activists, lawmakers and public officials who have, for instance, changed the Title IX rules for responding to sexual misconduct. Civility, hate crimes, activism, immigration, nationalism, and free speech are all again on the forefront of challenges impacting the current campus climate.New chapters cover these and other issues including the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic response and impact on equity and justice in higher education, and amplified calls for racial justice and police reform. The book is further enhanced by chapter case studies, summaries and questions for dialogue, to encourage further reflection by the reader and bolster the usefulness of the work as a textbook and campus training guide. The second edition is a must-have resource for broad stakeholders invested in inclusive conflict excellence and principled leadership in education in the midst of a shifting and increasingly polarized landscape. This includes legal counsel, higher education presidents, senior student affairs administrators and faculty leadership as well as student conduct practitioners across conduct boards, hearing and appeal officers, residential and organizational staff engaged in student facing campus climate work. Reframing Campus Conflict further offers transferable content that supports inclusive conflict excellence inquiry and application in graduate programs, K-12, special education and human resource management practices. This book is for all educators, administrators, practitioners and leaders committed to engaging campus conflict work through the inclusive lenses of social, restorative, transformative and procedural justice.This is also available as a set with Student Conduct Practice, Second Edition.

Download or read book Conflict Management in Higher Education written by and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Conflict is an inevitable part of life. It cannot be eliminated from relationships or the workplace so learning skills to manage conflict appropriately is important. The university setting provides a unique opportunity to train and prepare students for the types conflict they will face in the workplace. It also offers opportunities to encounter new levels of racial, religious, and socio-economic difference, all of which can play a role in creating conflict. Universities with well-developed alternative dispute resolution programs are positioned to support the institution and members therein through conflict situations. This research focuses specifically on a Biblical context for meditation, the history of alternative dispute resolution in higher education, the role of the ombudsperson, mediation skill development, conflict management education, and the long-term vocational and personal benefits of effective conflict management. This research has shown that conflict management is a critical component of leadership development. The study concluded that faith-based institutions are falling behind and must develop alternative dispute resolution systems to better prepare future leaders to engage with the world."--leaf iv.
