On Common Ground: Overcoming What Divides Us

February 25 | 7:00pm
Exploratorium | San Francisco, CA

For many of us today, our democracy has never felt less united in common purpose. Our everyday lives, it seems, have become increasingly fractured along political, geographic, generational, racial, gender and ideological lines. How do we turn the tide against this prevailing “us versus them” mindset? KQED’s Sasha Khokha leads a discussion about how we find common ground in an age of extreme disunity. Featuring emotional education expert Michele Borba; social psychologist Heike Winterheld and artist Shawn Lani, co-curators of the Exploratorium's " Middle Ground" exhibition; Make America Dinner Again co-founder Tria Chang; and Stanford political scientist Jonathan Rodden.
