Upcoming Webinar: Understanding Polarization

Understanding Polarization

Please, join us for the upcoming webinar, Understanding Polarization, on September 29. Ideological polarization is a central feature of politics today. In fact, according to the Pew Research Center, those who support Donald Trump and those who plan to vote for Joe Biden for President of the United States are more divided today than they were in 2016 particularly on issues related to race and gender. Our webinar panel will discuss the causes of polarization in a society and what we can do to diminish this divisiveness in the Lawrence community.

The panelists for this lecture are:
Ameya S. Balsekar, Associate Professor of Government
Peter Glick, Henry Merritt Wriston Professor of the Social Sciences, Psychology
Arnold Shober, Professor of Government
Terra Winston, Associate Dean of Spiritual & Religious Life

This live webinar will take place on Tuesday, September 29 at 6:00 pm. Although we will take questions during the event, please feel free to submit them ahead of time. To receive information about how to join and submit questions, contact
