NSU Faculty Foster Greater Understanding and Peace
Through a commitment to nonviolent resolution, the Department of Conflict Resolution Studies helps students develop the skills to become compassionate forces for unity and understanding. And it’s because our faculty lead by example. Through the scholarship of engagement, a framework developed by two Nova Southeastern University Halmos College of Arts and Science faculty members, we seek to engage and transform conflicts to push the field forward.
