This seminar will investigate the sources of polarization in our country and in society. 聽We will look at the role of political parties and systems in creating and emphasizing divisions. 聽We will examine media to evaluate how the creation and consumption of media (traditional sources, social media, and newer media outlets) leads to polarized ways of thinking. More importantly, the course will require students to critically reflect on their own polarization and provide tools and strategies for lessening polarization in communities.
