This week is Brain Awareness Week (March 11-15 2024) in Australia and JCU Library staff are pleased to show support with the release of our new open eBook, Neuroscience, Psychology and Conflict Management by Dr Judith Rafferty.
This peer reviewed and grant awarded eBook introduces readers to foundational concepts in neuroscience, cognitive psychology, personality psychology and social psychology to help explain why conflict occurs, how it develops and how it may be managed and/or resolved.
This eBook has been highly regarded by peer reviewers, with one saying:
"This must-read resource connects psychology and neuroscience, enabling readers to handle conflicts with depth and insight,” and, “it is a well-organised eBook that guides readers through the intricacies of conflict management.”
Congratulations to the author, Dr Judith Rafferty, Adjunct Research Fellow at the Cairns Institute, James Cook University.
Neuroscience, Psychology and Conflict Management is openly licensed and freely available to read via the CAUL Open Educational Resources Collective. You can also view JCU's entire catalogue at JCU Open eBooks.
The JCU Open Educational Resources Program
The JCU Open Educational Resources Program is a project in the Education Division, spearheaded by JCU Library. The aim of the project is two-fold:
- To support lecturers in adopting, adapting and creating Open Educational Resources including textbooks and workbooks in order to better support the learning of our students at JCU
- To make information about the people and places of the Tropics more widely accessible and understood. More than 40% of the world's population live in the Tropics and 40% of the world's surface is within the Tropics, but the area is often underrepresented in teaching materials.
