Negotiating Conflict in Your PhD Program Workshops

Did you know negotiating conflict is one of the most critical competencies graduate students need to advance in their academic programs and careers? Have you experienced conflict with an advisor or within your research team? Have you experienced challenges negotiating with your advisor/mentor the pivotal turns in your career?

Negotiating conflict is a common challenge for graduate students. According to the American Psychological Association, learning to negotiate conflict with your advisor, faculty members and/or research collaborators is an important skill that will allow graduate students to navigate training, research and the dissertation process with greater success (Psychological Science Agenda, APA, 2018, https://www.apa.org/science/about/psa/2018/11/negotiating-conflicts).

Acquiring the competencies to manage conflict, find common ground to collaborate and negotiate toward your goals with your advisor and others is a critical skill for succeeding in your academic career.

Join us for a Negotiating Conflict in Your PhD Program Workshop sponsored by the CWRU School of Graduate Studies.

The broad goals of the workshop will be to:

1. To explore common scenarios PhD candidates encounter while working with their advisors and faculty members, pursuing their research, as well as preparing their dissertations;  

2. To acquire valuable strategies for navigating the academic journey and working toward greater success in collaborations and relationships; and   

3. To build a safe and supportive community within which PhD candidates can explore tough dilemmas.
