This is a collaboration and information site for participants in research that will help our communities overcome and prevent polarization: a social dynamic in which differences of opinion become more extreme and civil discourse and relationships break down. This research is part of a three-year, multi-institutional applied research project called Courageous Dialogues: Moving Beyond Polarization.This project aims to identify tools, strategies, and other resources for helping our communities overcome polarization. In the research phase, participants who attended all sessions from Phase One may now choose to continue into new groups around specific themes or skill development.
