POLITICAL SCIENCE/ PUBLIC AFFAIRS

The Art of Communication in a Polarized World Kyle Conway

In North America and elsewhere, communities are fractured along ideological lines as media and algorithms encourage individuals to seek out others who think like they do and to condemn those that don’t. This social and political polarization has resulted in systemic discrimination and weaponized communication trends. In this essential guide, Kyle Conway offers concrete strategies for refining how values and ideas are communicated, deepens our understanding of what it means to communicate, and opens the door to new approaches to politics and ethics.
