Beyond the divide: Can we reverse polarisation?

From Jeanne: Well this short episode (10 mins) was certainly music to my hear!! (yes I know we're meant to share things that make us Think Again here, but this was too good not to share!). The guest talks about a new paper from the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology that investigated whether or not a simple civil conversation reduces polarisation - and polarised attitudes. And guess what??!! THEY DO!! At the end of the podcast the podcast host, Grace Cleere asks where we can practice this; I wish they had had TTA on their radar at the time!! Maybe it's not too late, so I've reached out to them! Will let you know if I hear back.
