Abstract for Online Program Book (maximum 150 words)
Contemporary society is deeply divided along cultural, regional, religious, racial, and socioeconomic lines. What is more, these forms of division are intertwined with growing levels of political sorting and polarization. If not checked, extreme polarization and sorting can be highly destructive to democratic culture and structures. My presentation utilizes material, assignments, and processes from a course as well as a student organization that teach students strategies for navigating the polarized environment.
