Sticks & Stones - Roots & Bones: Exploring the Power of Words in a Polarized World

Sticks & Stones, Roots & Bones is the name of this podcast series and part of my Ph.D. dissertation work at the University of British Columbia. I explore the power of words in a polarized world by looking at the psychological, cultural, and emotional components of these conversational ecosystems to gain insight and improve on existing knowledge of how we engage with each other. I invite activists, academics, and change-makers around the world to join us and share how they engage in difficult conversations.
