LSE Department of International Relations & Foreign Policy Rising

How can we make ourselves and our communities more resilient against exploitative polarisation? How do we move beyond just tolerating each other to actively seeking out diversity in all its hues? How do we rise above false binaries and better engage in constructive conflict so that we do not succumb to the more destructive kind? How do we ensure that research results and other evidence play a greater role in the public debate and have stronger impact on policy decisions?
