Dr. Jeffrey Dudiak's lecture “Who is my neighbour? The problem of polarization and the need for political wisdom."

Polarization is not only disagreement, it is a particular way of structuring and enforcing disagreement that makes collective moral conversations nearly impossible. How can we heal the wounds of polarization and have meaningful conversations with those who don’t share our attitudes? Can we hold our beliefs lightly enough to be receptive to the voice of the other?
