Agenda
We invite you to join us for Plurality Institute’s Spring Symposium: Bridging the Divide. Check out our livestream here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kkIVDWF26I4&list=PL93kCkGKjJQq8ZRe9SktYO81F2zF58zCr
This daylong event will bring together a carefully selected group of 40 academics and international experts for a program including talks on cutting-edge research, breakout discussion groups, and ample opportunities for unstructured connecting. Together, we’ll delve deeper into the theme of “bridging” during a time of increasing polarization. We’ll explore how technology and new organizing methods, both online and offline, can be leveraged to connect diverse groups with varying values, cultures, and identities, with the goal of ultimately promoting greater collaboration and understanding.
