Part II of Democratic Decay or Growth? Understanding Polarization in American Politics Today
For many of us, our country’s current polarized state is confusing,
stressful, and even threatening. This naturally leads to questions about the
history and causes of American political polarization, as well as about the
broad future of American politics. Join Dr. Nayda Pares-Kane (Sociology), Dr.
John Delate (American History), and Dr. Joe Scanlon (Political Science) for an
interactive three-part discussion about American political polarization.
Part II focuses on the causes and consequences of our current era of
polarization, and draws on contributions made during Part I. Part III is a
deliberative dialogue where you have the opportunity to
share your ideas on how to best move forward. See below for dates, times, and
registration links.
