Us vs Them: How to Address Polarization
At #rp25 Bart Brandsma unpacked how polarization works—not as debate, but as identity conflict. His argument: while pushers dominate the extremes, the key to depolarization lies with the often-overlooked “silent” middle.
My main takeaway: Don’t fight polarization at the fringes. Empower the silent middle by taking their dilemmas seriously.
NEW STUDY OUT IN IC&S
Putting #FilterBubble Effects to the Test
In an experimental survey study with real #news #recommendersystems (#NRS), we find **limited** support for #polarization effects of #algorithms inducing "filter bubble" like information environments.
Data also show how balanced algorithms may promote #depolarization.

The #Holiday season is here, and for many, that means gathering at the dinner table with #family and #friends. If this includes you, would you like some tips for having peaceful, meaningful conversations that foster respect and build #CommonGround?

This might seem like a lofty dream, but here at Move for America, we believe this reality is worth striving for, one conversation at a time! Would you like to be a part of the change? During the holidays, the dinner table often becomes more than just a place to share a meal; a stage for dialogues that can strengthen bonds or test them as family and friends come together.

#MoveForAmerica supports Fellows' ongoing training and reflection with bi-weekly meetings, and in the first one with our full 2023 cohort, we explored the perspectives of some of fiction's most notorious villains. #Today, we ask you what we asked them! If you could choose any villain and explain their side of the story, who would you choose and why? Here's what the Fellows had to say: https://www.move4america.org/post/fellow-blog-sessions
A Binary Broken—Does the Stark Dichotomy between Hero and Villain Hold Up under Empathetic Story Scrutiny? A lonely young girl neglected and abused, longing for love and hungry for the recognition she is due as she follows in the footsteps of the only parent who has not betrayed her. A man desperate to defend his people from inequity, discrimination and chronic violence, fighting body, mind and soul against long-standing systems of oppression and cruelty. A tiger who wishes to defend his friends
