Title

"Conflict Resolution, Part 1" radio episode

Description

An audio recording by Oregon Congressman Les AuCoin on political conflict in the "state of Jefferson" (Southern Oregon) and how civil discourse could improve matters. AuCoin says that while having a natural clash of ideas is healthy, demonizing each other is not. He brings up the racially-motivated shootings that took place in Chiloquin in 2001. AuCoin asserts that community-based conflict resolution projects can help rival groups discuss problems civilly, and describes how Southern Oregon University (SOU) recently ran a workshop for forty people that attempted to make discussions more humane. This is one episode from AuCoin's biweekly radio show on Jefferson Public Radio (JPR), which ran after he had retired from office. The majority of episodes feature his commentary on current political events, often focusing on issues important to southern Oregon where JPR is based. This episode aired around 2002.
