Philanthropy has a unique opportunity to fund, support, and protect civil society institutions that contribute to building an inclusive democracy where everyone belongs. But, as funders, our ability to do so can be hampered by the pernicious divides that threaten to tear our society apart. Against the backdrop of a quickly evolving national landscape, the questions “why are we so polarized?” and “what can we do about it?” are ever present.
View a conversation with political scientist Daniel Hopkins, author of “The Increasingly United States: How and Why American Political Behavior is Nationalized” as he explores how polarization has developed over time, including its origins, the nature of it, and ways we might productively navigate it in an increasingly divided world.
This session is part of the Learning Across Differences Ideas Forum, a quarterly virtual discussion series that highlights leading thinkers and their ideas for how we can come together, not apart.
