The Science of Polarization
Our brains are wired for survival. When you first meet a person, your brain almost instantly judges them to determine if they are a threat. Are they a friend or foe ā€” a part of your group ā€” or an outsider? This course will help you better understand the subtle inner workings of your brain and behavior that influence how you perceive and interact with others ā€” and how they perceive and interact with you. Weā€™ll cover how your mind works, how groups work, and how understanding the neuroscience and social science behind polarization can help you lead a community that is more resilient to toxic forms of division.
