It's no secret that Americans' ability to engage in meaningful conversations across political, cultural, and ideological divides feels more strained than ever. In this episode, we discuss how to bring people together. Two words: civil discourse. Duke professor Abdullah Antepli is a nationally recognized expert in civil discourse. Recently he's been teaching a course on the topic and is creating public forums for dialogue between people with opposing views.

Antepli leads Polis, Duke's Center for Politics. He talks with Manoj Mohanan, interim Dean of the Sanford School of Public Policy at Duke.

This episode is part of a series of election-related conversations.
