Illumine America, Episode 8: Amanda Ripley

In this episode, after a bit of a hiatus, James Samimi Farr talks with Amanda Ripley, a writer for The Atlantic and the author of many great books, including her latest, High Conflict, which details how people get themselves into damaging and polarizing conflict, and how they can get themselves out. We got to a lot of places in this conversation, but, here a few themes that popped out. What makes unhealthy conflict explode? How is our media system culpable in promoting high conflict? Why does our media sometimes ‘flatten’ our very dynamic world in service of telling a story? And what are the limits of us vs them thinking in solving social problems?

Illumine America, Episode 7: Durham, North Carolina, Part 2

In this episode, we’re back in Durham, North Carolina with our Race Discourse Officers, PJ Andrews and May Lample. If you missed the first part of this two-part interview, we recommend going back and checking it out first. We’ll be hearing more from a team working in Durham to implement a Baha’i-inspired community-building program. They’re going to explore some questions with us. What motivates people to sustain participation in such a program, when forces of apathy and disillusionment can be so strong? How do you build bonds of trust that are stronger than longstanding prejudice? And what does it look like to see an abstract vision slowly become reality, right before your eyes?
