The Compass Series: Navigating Our Complex State of Affairs is a short mini-series exploring the critical topics at the intersection of science, policy, and human behavior.    

In Episode 1: Bridging Divides, we discuss political polarization and conflict with Stephen Hawkins, Global Director of Research for More in Common. In this interview with Stephen, we talk about the roots of political polarization, the perception gap that exists about division in our society, how we should be rethinking our media diet, and a few things we could all do to find greater unity.
