#1271 Douglas Fry: Advanced Introduction to Conflict Resolution

Hello everyone, welcome to a new episode of the Decenter. I'm your host, as always, Ricardo Lopes, and today I'm here with a returning guest, Dr. Douglas Rye. He is now professor emeritus of peace and conflict studies at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro and also adjunct senior research scholar at the Advanced Consortium on Cooperation, Conflict and Complexity at Columbia University.

And today we're going to talk about his new book, Advanced Introduction to Conflict Resolution. So Douglas, welcome back to the show. It's always an immense pleasure to talk with you. Oh, well, thank you, Ricardo, for that kind introduction and your kind words, and it's an immense pleasure for me as well. Great.

So, I mean, we've already talked on the show twice about the anthropology of war and peace. So today we're going to talk more specifically about one aspect that is associated with those topics, that is conflict. resolution. So uh how do you approach it from an anthropological perspective? I mean from the perspective of an anthropologist, what is conflict resolution?
