Intro to a power point slide deck showing the title of the talk "polarization as an Americanism" and the image of la verité dressed on progressive and in conservative garb.

Problematizing the Polarization Frame 1. Draws focus on issues amplified by party politics (and away from others), 2. Self-recursive concept across different spheres => self-fulfilling prophecy, 3. Normatively centrist 4. Obfuscates asymmetries 5. Right-wing ideological project,

Kicking of a 2-day-2-talks trip with a visit at the Center for Advanced Internet Studies in Bochum & a workshop on Polarization.
I'll talk about what we can learn from US discourse on the concept over the past decades.

Inspired by the contributions, we spent much time connecting our work and exploring all the theoretical and methodological questions from many different perspectives 💬

This is just the beginning—let’s keep the conversation going! 🫶 #MonsterAG

We had insightful presentations on our attendees' current research and quickly got to the very big, thought-provoking questions in the field of polarization research! 🧠

Last week we held our workshop on #Polarization –Conceptualization and Methodological Approaches. It was a blast, bringing together brilliant and highly motivated minds! 🤓

We are very thrilled to host you, and ready for a thought-provoking discussion on conceptualizing #polarization! 🤓
