In this episode, we dive deep into the historical and psychological drivers of political polarization with Dr. Allison Ralph, head of Cohesion Strategy.
Allison shares how ancient metaphors, like the "body politic," are still being used today to justify othering and the dangerous trend of social purification. We move beyond the idea of "mushy middle" dialogue to discuss productive conflict—the essential, often difficult work of building pluralistic solutions and strategic coalitions even when we fundamentally disagree.
If you’ve ever felt that bridging divides feels like a "kumbaya" fantasy, this conversation is for you. We explore why action-based bridging and collective action are the most powerful tools we have for increasing community trust and protecting our democracy.
