June 2024 Strategic-Leadership Seminar: Managing Conflict

Friday, June 7 - 11:00 a.m. ET 

When asked about their top one or two challenges, department chairs consistently mention managing conflict. Whether it’s working with difficult colleagues or managing the incompatible worldviews of faculty and deans, chairs are often required to advance sensitive conversations with diplomacy and tact. What are the most effective strategies for handling those situations when they arise? And how can chairs reduce the stress they experience from challenging encounters?

Panelists:

• Addrain Conyers, Assistant Provost for Faculty Development and Associate Professor of Criminal Justice, Marist College
• Kate Temoney, Associate Professor and Chair of the Department of Religion, Montclair State University

Moderator:

• Liz McMillen, Executive Editor, Chronicle Intelligence
