All members of the Elon community are invited to this engaging presentation on Thursday, March 6 at 4:30 p.m. in Schar 207 (second floor School of Communications).
Elon University students, staff and faculty will have the opportunity to hear from Adi Wiezel, assistant professor of psychology, on Thursday, March 6, at 4:30 p.m. in Schar 207 (second floor School of Communications) for “Bridging Divides – Understanding and Addressing Political Polarization.”
We know that we’ve been experiencing a high level of polarization in the United States, but what does that actually mean? In this interactive session, participants will learn to distinguish between two different kinds of political polarization and investigate the science behind some of the causes and potential interventions for reducing political polarization.
The Active Citizen Series is designed to cultivate the next generation of informed leaders who will help strengthen communities and shape our democracy. This series allows students to gain a deeper understanding of how government works and to develop the necessary skills to engage in civil discourse across political divides.
This event is sponsored by the Council on Civic Engagement, Elon Political Engagement Work Group and Kernodle Center for Civic Life
