Conflict Systems Zine Launch

Abstract: Join us for the release of Conflict Systems, a new zine from the Media Economies Design Lab at CU Boulder.

​The zine contends that many recent sites of community building, especially online, have lacked the tools and norms for the practice of conflict. Many reasonable expectations that go by names like due process, justice, accountability, or mediation are unavailable or not even considered in emerging communities. The platforms that communities rely on treat conflict as a corporate liability, not a chance to strengthen relationships.

​Conflict Systems offers an invitation for design, for skill-building, and for tool-sharing. We gather here the ideas of people with experience and expertise that ranges from social-movement facilitation to digital court systems, from user-experience design to family law. Where these perspectives meet, there is the chance to cultivate far healthier systems for supporting conflict in the spaces where people find each other today. Drawing together many lineages of knowledge and the lessons of recent research, this gap is an opportunity.
