Episode 21: The Science of Depolarization (Interview with Dr. Peter Coleman)
An interview with award-winning scholar, Dr. Peter Coleman, sharing his research at Columbia University's 'Difficult Conversations Lab', exploring the variables best contributing to bringing antagonistic groups closer together.
In this 'power hour', discover the main principles which have emerged in the
scientific literature for effective depolarization. This includes the benefits of complicating the narrative, the power of movement, pursuing a common goal, the limits of contact theory, appreciating the temporal dimension of change, positive deviance, shaping first impressions, articulating theories of change, maintaining a strong positive-to-negative comment ratio.
Dr. Coleman also shares details about his 4 week, daily training program, 'The Challenge'.
