I am a teacher in the NYC Public School system. I am eligible for a 6 month sabbatical (8 credits at an accredited institution). I am interested in studying resolving conflicts, peace studies, reducing hate speech and the like. This would be for Spring 2023. Can you give me any suggestions?

6 month Subbatical
Hi Jessica,
There are a few programs of Conflict Resolution/Negotiation at the different institutes but most of them last at least more than 6 months or less (1-2 months).
I highly recommend you to contact the following institutions and check for other optional programs that might not be published on their websites :
Tel Aviv University - (Offers 10-month MA programs in Conflict Resolution and Mediation
Hebrew University - offers a Conflict Resolution program for one month.
Bar Ilan University - I'm not sure if their programs are still on but it is best to check.
You can also try and contact Haifa University (Peace and Conflict Studies Track) and Arava Institution.
