Coming Events
The Civil Discourse Lab & Lambda Pi Eta Present: Undivide Us
The Civil Discourse Lab and Lambda Pi Eta (the Communication Honors Society) would like to invite UNH students, faculty, staff and community members to the showing of Undivide Us. Undivide Us (2023) explores the forces driving division in America and brings to light how everyday citizens with different backgrounds
and beliefs can reclaim civil discourse. Through expert analysis and real-life conversations, this documentary film explores the roots of toxic polarization and offers strategies on how we can counteract the divides in our country. The Civil Discourse Lab will lead facilitated, small group discussion after the film. Please register here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1234819742089?aff=oddtdtcreator

Undivide Us description:
"As news and social media amplify a narrative of an America on the brink of civil war, politicians in Washington, DC stir conflict: red against blue, rich against poor, urban against rural, race against race, and man against woman. They cast us as enemies locked in battle, usurping power and posing as our saviors. UNDIVIDE US challenges the idea that citizens who disagree are not capable of civil conversation and demonstrates the truth that, even in our differences, the American experiment is still alive and well. It exposes the power players in Washington DC as the true disruptors of peace, driving our legitimate differences to the brink of disaster. Hear from experts about the roots of this toxic polarization and learn how to counteract it in our local communities and lives."
