The rise of political polarization presents an increasingly troubling threat to democracies worldwide and peace globally. Established and emerging democracies are seeing far-right political figures ascend to power amidst growing internal social division. At the same time, economic concerns, wars, and growing distrust further polarize entire groups of nations.

What is the lived experience of polarization? How does it manifest within societies, both inside and outside of politics? And what can be done to reverse the course and build coalition once again?

The Cambridge Overcoming Polarization Initiative sets out to answer these questions. Over the course of a year, we engaged professors, researchers, and business leaders to gain diverse perspectives on polarization, its threat to social order, and examples of things actually getting better. This presentation summarises those findings and introduces new questions for continued study.

This talk is part of the Social Psychology Seminar Series (SPSS) series.
