Peter M. Kellett (Ph.D., Southern Illinois University) is Associate Professor and Head of the Department of Communication at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. His research, teaching, and service focus on the narrative analysis and dialogic management of conflict as this helps people build healthier, more productive and peaceful relationships. His most recent publication is, "Dialectical Tensions and Dialogic Moments as Pathways to Peak Experiences" (with H.L. Goodall, Jr.), in R. Anderson, L.A. Baxter, & K.N.

Their book helps readers understand the elements of conflict and then act on that understanding by managing conflict better in each area of their lives - work, family, and community.
