Abstract:

This panel will feature personal narratives as a way of providing a more fully developed understanding of conflict and conflict management. Panelists will explore experiences of conflict (intrapersonal, interpersonal, intergroup, and organizational) in narrative form. They will offer reflections, insights, conclusions and comments based on narrative analysis. The purpose of this panel is to demonstrate the effective use of auto-ethnography and narrative analysis as a research method in peace and conflict studies. Panelists will analyze the reflective process required for the creation and internalization of the narrative and address how this reflexivity expands and deepens understanding and action in conflict situations.
