Conflict Resolution Center director to keynote Minnesota conference Conflict Resolution Center Director Kristine Paranica will be the keynote presenter at the Conflict Resolution Minnesota annual conference Thursday, April 16, at the University of Minnesota Continuing Education and Conference Center in St. Paul. Paranica’s presentation is titled “Relational Connections in Chaos and Conflict.” “I’m going to highlight that in times of chaos and conflict, we tend to lose sight of our connectedness as feelings of isolation and despair move in,” said Paranica, who is an attorney and adjunct professor in alternative dispute resolution at the UND School of Law. “I’m going to share insights from a relational world view through the practice of transformative mediation, working with emotional intelligence, non-violent communication, and spiritually-based mindfulness practices to support myself, our mediation clients, and the people I work with,” Paranica said.
