Our Approach
We pull together experts from diverse backgrounds for meaningful and respectful public discourse that lead to solutions.
The underlying causes of a polarized society take exploration and inclusive participation from all fields, including sociology, political science, social psychology, clinical psychology, technology, business, economics, history, art, and moral development.
With Care And Curiosity
We intend to use care to openly explore the intersection of diverse perspectives. We aim to understand how we got so polarized and how we can create a depolarized society with more mutuality and connectedness.
Here’s what that looks like:
Structured Dialogue
Real conversations. Small groups. Deep listening. Organized with care. Orchestrated to surface opportunities and allies.
Participatory, Cross-Disciplinary Insight
Psychologists talk to policy nerds. Teachers talk to techies. Everyone leaves changed.
Real-World Campaigns
From homelessness to mental health to capitalism’s invisible harms—we take on big issues with local traction and look for pathways to solutions.
Strategic Engagement
We work with our partner WithCommunity to recruit participants, arrange structured Zoom meetups, moderate public discourse, and coordinate next steps for action.
