Today’s episode is part of our Seminar Series, in which we facilitate discussions on work conducted by teams of academic researchers and practitioners that relates to one of four thematic topics: 1) Crime Reduction & Police Accountability, 2) Climate Change Governance, 3) Displacement, Migration, & Integration, and 4) Democracy, Conflict, & Polarization.
This episode focuses on Democracy, Conflict, & Polarization, presenting a discussion with José Ramón Enríquez (Harvard University) and Alberto Simpser (ITAM), along with implementing partner Mónica Meltis, Executive Director of Data Cívica, a Mexican civil society organization that provides training on technological tools and open data to promote transparency and citizen participation. They discuss the effectiveness of interventions to communicate objective information, even in polarized contexts with high levels of mistrust and heightened emotions. Jessica Gottlieb, EGAP member and co-chair of the Democracy, Conflict, & Polarization Priority Theme committee, moderates the conversation.
