BiCurean

This episode of BiCurean we spoke with Stephen Hawkins, Director of Research from More in Common. From COVID to election integrity, More in Common seeks to understand our divisions and how to bridge them.

Show Notes

We were honored to have the Director of Research of More in Common, Stephen Hawkins, take some time to share about their history, goals, and discoveries.

More in Common was founded in 2016 to address division in society and find ways for us to focus on what we have in common. While there are similar forces threatening democratic societies, they have established separate national teams with their own national strategies, because they believe strategies to strengthen resilience against the forces of division must build on each society’s unique national and regional characteristics.

In their work, they aim for originality, strategic rigor and a sound evidence base. They put learning at the center of our work. They don’t have all the answers, but they are committed to deepening their insights, improving their approaches and measuring their impact. As a learning organization, they put a high value on collaboration and are committed to sharing their own insights generously with those who share their goals.

What is BiCurean?

BiCurean takes typically combative topics and teaches them to play nice. Our view is 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 host Aicila as she digs into topics ranging from social and political to geeky and fun. Aicila is looking for the "BiCurean Moment"- the point where contradictions meet or are embraced.

BiCurean was conceived of in 2011 by Aicila as a podcast and originally created as a blog. On hiatus since 2021, she's been eager to start back up, and 2025 will be the year she does. Watch for new episodes, a new format, and just her as the host.
