Study Group Details
200: Neuroscience of Conflict
Monday1:45 - 3:15
Starting September 19
In-Person
This course will explore the amazing new breakthroughs in understanding the neuroscience of trauma and apply it to the study of conflict. Both trauma and conflict are manifestations of the human threat response (HRT), and scientific understanding of that response has vastly deepened in the past 20 years with the introduction of new technologies like fMRIs, CT scans, and PET scans. I apply this new understanding to our understanding of conflict, how to productively engage with and manage it, and in particular, the benefits that accrue from such engagement.
