DESCRIPTION:''Don’t Be Critical: The Rise of 'Collaborative Thuggery.'''Gue
 st Speaker: Robert A. Rubinstein\, Distinguished Professor of Anthropology
  and Professor of International Relations at the Maxwell School of Syracus
 e University\, where from 1994-2011 he directed the Program on the Analysi
 s and Resolution of Conflicts (PARC).&nbsp\; His work focuses on medical a
 nthropology and public health\, and on multilateral responses to complex e
 mergencies.Since the publication of Barbara Gray’s germinal work Collabora
 ting: Finding Common Ground for Multiparty Problems in 1989\, collaboratio
 n has become widely valued in public and private discourse.&nbsp\; In this
  conversation I will discuss how collaboration morphed from being an impor
 tant tool for joint action to becoming a moral good\, indeed a cudgel limi
 ting civil discourse\, marking critical disagreement as bad\, and hiding t
 he contested nature of some public policies.&nbsp\; I consider the promoti
 on of collaboration as a façade obscuring pre-planned actions\, a smokescr
 een for the lack of real public participation in policy development.&nbsp\
 ; The result\, “Collaborative Thuggery\,” harms rather than improves civil
  discourse.Conversations in Conflict Studies is a weekly educational speak
 er series for students\, faculty\, and the community. The series\, sponsor
 ed by PARCC\, draws its speakers from Syracuse University faculty\, nation
 al and international scholars and activists\, and PhD students. Pizza is s
 erved. Follow us on Twitter @PARCCatMaxwell\, tweet #ConvoInConflict.If yo
