“Conflict Resolution in Human Evolution” Asachs, 2010. Public Domain: Wikimedia Commons
Over the course of the Fall 2017 semester, each campus’ students worked to research an example of conflict and attempted resolution in their college towns and regions. They used local resources on their campuses and local communities, including: university and public libraries and archives, student and town newspapers, local government records and websites, and oral interviews with students, professors, and community members.
