Conflict Resolutions between Parties Interested in Seabed Mining: A Case Study for Deconstructing Conflict
William Hoffman
Communication Teacher, v38 n4 p338-347 2024
This activity leverages the use of a single case study to explain conflict mapping and find an optimal solution to the complicated challenges posed by the situation in Nauru, an island country that is now participating in seabed mining operations. In groups, students are given a chance to participate in two discussions: one within their respective groups and the other collectively as a class. In the ensuing discussions with the class, students have a glimpse into the complicated yet necessary efforts that a conflict situation demands from participants. Courses: Courses that are suited to this activity include conflict resolution and small group communication. Objectives: The activity shows students that a carefully developed conflict map is advantageous for understanding the many aspects of a disagreement and selecting the most optimal approach to communicating with seemingly opposing parties. The exercise teaches conflict resolution and promotes collective awareness by actively including every individual in the decision-making process. It also encourages reflection on the perspectives that are sometimes overlooked in classrooms based in the Global North and considers voices from marginalized populations that have limited possibilities to share their perspectives, particularly in nations in the Global South.
