THE INTERSECTION
KNOWLEDGE AGENCY ACTION
The Intersection is an initiative that advises individuals on the processing of conflicts. People often find themselves at a crossroad of options in a situation of conflict. There is a feeling of “being stuck” at the crossroad because you are unsure where each road or option could lead.
On most occasions, you know what you want, but need reassurance in terms of what the pursuit of a particular method of approaching a conflict situation actually entails for you. This is where, we, at The Intersection, could step in.
We provide clear information of legal, semi-legal and non-legal methods of handling conflict. We help you understand the consequences, benefits and challenges of different approaches to handling your conflict. We can also connect you with organisations, lawyers, therapists, mediators and other actors who can support you in pursuing a conflict processing method of your choice.
Individuals in situations of interpersonal conflict often need a safe space to speak and an easily comprehensible conversation to understand what their choice of conflict resolution necessitates. The Intersection facilitates knowledge building and agency over the actions you choose.
ABOUT THE FOUNDER
Dr. Kalindi Kokal has been providing support to individuals confronted with a diverse range of conflicts. She is a scholar or law and anthropology and has been involved in research pertaining to how law unfolds. The close observation of how people manage and navigate conflicting situations in their everyday life has been an intrinsic component of her research. Her role in providing support to such decision making arises organically in connection with her work as a research scholar.
Dr. Kokal holds a doctorate in Law from the Martin Luther University – Halle (Saale) in Germany. She is the author of State Law, Dispute Processing and Legal Pluralism: Unspoken Dialogues from Rural India (Routledge: 2020).
COLLABORATE WITH US
The Intersection seeks to partner with lawyers, psychologists, mediators, civil society organisations, community leaders, holistic healers and the police to expand the popular understanding of their roles in the landscape of conflict processing. We could also provide value addition in these spaces, through preliminary examination of a person’s conflict in a manner that enables them to think through their conflict with clarity and focus.
