Summary
Earlier this year, Elizabeth Behrens and Corregan Brown led a course in the Be the Bridge Academy entitled "Politics as Bridge Builders." They discussed how the history of our political divides, the nature of conflict and styles of conflict, and the neuroscience behind conflict and debate in order to have more productive conversations. It was a fantastic course!
As we are a month out from the 2024 Presidential Election, we wanted to give you a taste of the wisdom Elizabeth and Corregan brought to the course. This conversation will give you hope and help you engage in politics in a healthy way in the days to come. Even now, we can be bridge builders!
