Show Notes

More in Common’s mission is to understand the forces driving us apart, to find common ground and help to bring people together to tackle our shared challenges. Drawing from groundbreaking research to test and find solutions, they work with partners that have the capacity to make a real difference at scale. And they help build the larger field of efforts to strengthen democratic societies against the threats of polarization and division.

Director of Researcher, Stephen Hawkins, joined us to talk about their most recent 7 country study, their election study results and touched on the American Fabric project they have launched. The question of 'how can we build and come together' continues to remain their priority, while the evidence suggests it is more elusive than any of us would hope for.

What is BiCurean?

BiCurean takes typically combative topics and teaches them to play nice. Our view is that the mainstream reactionary rhetoric divides us and only helps those invested in the status quo. We seek to find answers beyond the most obvious. Join hosts Aicila and Erik as they dig into topics ranging from social and political to geeky and fun. Erik and Aicila are looking for the "BiCurean Moment" a point where contradictions meet.
