This interview originally aired on In the Moment on SDPB Radio.

The pull of polarization is strong. The Braver Angels depolarization organization seeks to bring people on both political sides together.

Joel Allen, Ph.D., is a professor or religion and philosophy at Dakota Wesleyan University. He's also the director of the McGovern Center.

He previews the upcoming events at the McGovern Center this fall, which includes five Braver Angels events. He discusses the power of going into a debate seeking to understand instead of convince.
