Can Difference Coexist?

The Cambridge Overcoming Polarization Initiative brings together scholars from across disciplines to develop a nuanced understanding of how polarization affects communities and how to counter such division.

Who we Are, What we Do

The Cambridge Overcoming Polarization Seminar brings together 12 scholars in Psychology, Philosophy, Natural Language, Behavioural Economics, and the Humanities to share their perspectives on how society becomes polarized. Through a series of speaking engagements, workshops, and clinics, we work among ourselves and with partner organization’s towards creating an nuanced understanding of polarization, and with it impactful strategies to building peaceful coexistence.
