| Course description | This course is based on dialogue studies within communication scholarship: a practical discipline that has gained momentum over the last 15 years, particularly within organizational development, community engagement and conflict resolution. The communication perspective on dialogue is more of an approach rather than a methodology, a craft rather than a technique which will be explored through case studies. |
