DESCRIPTION:Schools are key locations where diverse young people could hav
 e guided opportunities to practice roles\, skills\, understandings and rel
 ationships for participation in democratic dialogue about social conflicts
 .  Yet opportunities for constructive conflict learning (and agency) are o
 ften quite limited in schools\, especially for marginalized students.  Tea
 chers seem to have little institutional support for addressing conflicts i
 n an open\, inclusive\, equitable\, participatory manner with diverse stud
 ents\, and few opportunities to develop skills and confidence as conflict 
 dialogue facilitators.  This paper examines how facilitated dialogue on di
 fficult issues might be feasibly implemented in culturally diverse school 
 settings\, juxtaposing different types of school-based conflict dialogue t
 hat have emerged from different roots in research and practice.
