The Harvard Negotiation & Mediation Clinical Program launched its new podcast Thanks for Listening!  Here’s their description:

This podcast will spotlight efforts to bridge the political divide in the U.S. through dialogue and collaborative processes, profiling the important and often courageous work of individuals and organizations who are helping citizens engage with one another on challenging topics.  Episodes will dive deep into such issues as: managing difficult family dynamics and relationships affected by partisan differences; bridging the divides in Congress, the media, and in our social media spaces; training youth to move through conflict and toward civic responsibility; embracing dialogue in the face of extremism; engaging with others on highly emotional issues; and working to restore divided communities.  We hope that through the everyday examples of ordinary and extraordinary people all over the country, listeners will find optimism that we can move beyond partisan divides, and be inspired to become part of the solution.

In this first episode we’ll look at politics around the Thanksgiving table—the start of a long month of family gatherings and meals to celebrate the holidays.

This podcast is made possible with a grant from the American Arbitration Association International Centre for Dispute Resolution Foundation.
