Inside Polarisation is a podcast series with tools and insights to help you learn how to navigate the tensions when polarisation strikes.
Podcast 1
We live in a world riddled with tension, us versus them, or black versus white. One camp versus the other. The activist versus industry, man versus woman, nature versus the farmer. Inside Polarisation is a podcast series with tools and insights to help you learn how to navigate the tensions when polarisation strikes.
Bart Brandsma is a philosopher, consultant and polarisation expert. He has been studying this subject for two decades and has developed a Polarisation Framework. This framework is a beacon in times of provocation, increasing division and media manipulation. His consultancy stretches from Cambodia and Lebanon to Northern Ireland, from daily practice in companies, schools and universities to nationwide us and them-scenarios.
In collaboration with Wageningen University and Research, Bart guides you through his practical framework in this podcast series – Inside Polarisation.
In this first episode Bart talks about the first two basic principles, polarisation is a thought-construct and the fact that polarisation needs fuel.
