Sultana discusses the universal right to water on Princeton Environmental Institute podcast
"We need to democratize how water is managed and governed," says Farhana Sultana, associate professor of geography. "So that all voices are heard and much more ethical practices around water are pursued." Sultana was recently a guest on Princeton Environmental Institute's All for Earth podcast. Fundamentally, we need to "ensure that principles of equity collaboration and inclusivity are central to all of this," she adds. "Because we need to really have a better understanding of how water is very much a moral issue. And as a result that will help us think about much better transformations that are equitable and inclusive. In order to fight for water justice for all."

Conflict Management Center Workshop- Basic Training 1: Conflict Styles and Reflective Listening and Train the Trainer Session
204 Maxwell Hall
Add to: Outlook, ICal, Google Calendar
The Conflict Management Center will begin its training workshop series this fall. Our first workshop, "Basic Training 1: Conflict Styles and Reflective Listening and Train the Trainer Session" is scheduled for Saturday, September 9, 2017, from 9am to 3pm, in 204 Maxwell (See below for description). Breakfast and light lunch will be served!
Registration is open to
the SU community and the public! Please fill out this form or send an
email indicating name, status, dept/organization, and dietary restriction to cmc@syr.edu.
Event Description:
Each CMC workshop provides theory-based
content and practice-proven skills, providing participants with both a
foundation and a springboard for building his or her personal and professional
capacities in conflict transformation and group facilitation. The Basic
Training workshop is composed of two parts:
9 a.m.-1 p.m.: Basic
Training Part 1: Conflict Styles and Reflective Listening
What kind of conflict style do you have?
How does it impact the way in which you deal with conflict? Understanding the
various conflict styles can help bridge understanding in how you and others
react to conflict. Also learn a powerful tool that can help deal with emotions
associated with interpersonal conflict- reflective listening. RL helps address
these high emotions in order to allow 'room' to address the conflict. Add these
two 'tools' to your conflict management toolbox in an interactive,
participatory workshop format.
1 p.m.-3:30 p.m.: Train the Trainer:
First Year Forum
This session, which will be held immediately after Basic Training Part 1, will
train interested volunteers who attend the morning session on being a CMC
Associate for SU's First Year Forum (FYF) and other workshops throughout the
academic year. The FYF initiative helps freshmen gain the knowledge and skills
for a more successful college career. It involves small groups of freshmen who
meet with a faculty member on a regular basis on a variety of topics. One of
the options for FYF is an approximately 1-hour workshop on the basics of
conflict management- and the requests are already pouring in! We will cover
everything you need to know in order to be a trainer using this CMC-developed
curriculum.
Prof. Catherine Gerard, Director of the Program for the Advancement of Research on Conflict and Collaboration (PARCC) at Maxwell School, Syracuse University, will be leading both workshops.
Please sign up for our Conflict Management Center listserv to stay informed of CMC workshops and events (type "SUBSCRIBE CONFLICTMANAGEMENTCTR" and your name in the body of the message). You can also contact us via email.
