Why Listen to Anthropologists?:
Combating Societal Polarization with Cultural Anthropology
In the United States, we are grappling with a divided country that is experiencing a period of political polarization. How can we positively respond? Olivia Morden proposes that viewing the world through an anthropological lens may be effective in comprehending, reframing, and taming today’s societal polarization—polarization so evident in today’s political arena.
In “Why Listen to Anthropologists?” the reader is invited to learn lessons from cultural anthropology and then to reflect on how they can incorporate these lessons into their lives.
