In this presentation, Neal Powless will discuss his forthcoming book, which is a compilation of cultural stories that span thousands of years of cultural knowledge and teachings around managing conflict. These stories are aggregated through a contemporary lens to identify how this knowledge can be adopted for daily use by anyone. The book will include activities that readers will be able to use to develop their own knowledge around conflict management.

Neal Powless serves as Syracuse University Ombuds, a neutral and confidential resource for faculty, staff, and graduate students who are seeking assistance to answer questions and resolve concerns.
