What can bridge the widening divisions in America today? How can society foster a greater sense of belonging among different communities?

Dr. Anand Pandian seeks answers to those questions in his new book, Something Between Us: The Everyday Walls of American Life and How to Take Them Down, where he invites us to explore the areas of our lives that create greater separations and barriers.

Pandian is the Krieger-Eisenhower Professor of Anthropology at Johns Hopkins University and President of the Society for Cultural Anthropology. He will discuss the book at The Ivy Bookshop on August 21.
