About the event
This workshop will help you reframe how you view the other side in the face of disagreements around politics or any other subject. Successfully "taming" our inner polarizer starts with regognizing our tendencies to make harmful generalizations about the other side. This requires acknowledging how we often
attribute negative intent and motivations to the other side without first trying to understand them.
