Personal and Inter-personal

Learn about how power and conflict in the home and between individuals is shaped by culture, justice systems, and religious teachings.

This sub-theme challenges the assumption that conflict can ever be considered truly ‘private’. Conflict in the home, local community or workplace generally reflects patterns of power that go beyond the interpersonal relationship where the conflict is found.

The study of personal and interpersonal power and conflict involves unpacking and questioning family relationships, gender norms and myths, workplace interaction, and religious practices and scriptures. Studying power and conflict between individuals throws a light onto where power resides in society, how it operates, and how institutions support and reproduce power in intimate and interpersonal relationships.
