Recent data shows that Americans report feeling more polarized than ever. In today’s political climate, we may feel there is a wide gulf between ourselves and our fellow citizens, colleagues, community members, or loved ones. How do we talk with people who may hold views that differ steeply from our own? In this conversation, we’ll explore our associations with polarization, consider our own discomforts and barriers, and find ways to meet one another on common ground.
