Join us for The Walrus Talks at Home: Polarization to examine the increasing political, social, and cultural divide. Leading experts will discuss how and why politicians and public figures have ramped up the use of intense rhetoric to galvanize support and create wedge issues. We’ll take a look at the impact of social media platforms and how they amplify “rage-bait” and dis/misinformation. We’ll also look at how the COVID-19 pandemic intensified political divisions around health and science policies. In the closing days of a year that saw more than half the world’s population go to the polls, and in the lead up to an expected federal election, don’t miss this urgent discussion about what divides us and how Canadians can find common ground.
Speakers to be announced soon.
