Polarized: Making Sense of a Divided America
Dr. James E Campbell is a UB Distinguished Professor of Political Science at the University at Buffalo, Sate University of New York. Healthy debate and good public discourse is healthy for a strong representative government.   But when debates go from “this idea vs that idea” to “us vs you” we might be battling a problem of polarization.  Dr. Campbell, the author of Polarized: Making Sense of a Divided America explains the division in our country.
Why money is an impoverished metric of generosity
Dr. Richard Gunderman is Chancellor’s professor of Radiology, Pediatrics, Medical Education, Philosophy, Liberal Arts, Philanthropy, and Medical Humanities and Health Studies at Indiana University.  Often we hear about people like John Rockefeller and Andrew Carnegie as some of the most generous Americans of all times.

Dr. Gunderman recently released an article about charitiable giving and how time is many times more valuable than money.
