Conflict Sensitivity

Reveals the dynamics of power, gender, and culture in three elements

Construction of identity
People shift roles and try out multiple identities throughout their daily living; they desire to have the freedom to express their own meanings and identities without obstructions imposed upon them by external systems or communities.

݆ What are the processes which constitute the individual’s identity? (V. Jabri)
݆ How does identity come to be framed in exclusionist terms? (V. Jabri)
݆ How does the inclusion-exclusion dichotomy result in the emergence of and support for conflict? (V. Jabri)

Allocation of resources
People allocate resources (wealth, knowledge, experience) according to membership in systems and communities, punishments and rewards, and perceived threats and promises of gain.

݆ What  are the actual resources? The concealed resources? The underutilized and disavowed resources?
݆ How are resources allocated? Who participates in the decision? Who is excluded?
݆ Where do resources need to be re-allocated?

Order of things
People make sense of the world and their part in it according to frames of references defined within a social context which involves controlling processes and discursive and institutional continuities.

݆ How are images, news, and bodies of knowledge produced?
݆ What processes limit frames and what processes expand frames?
݆ How are tacit assumptions about the production of knowledge made visible?
