Race, Identity, and Ideology
Description
The first "SNF Agora Conversations: Diversity and Democracy" event will explore ideological and demographic diversity, and in particular, the limits we place on ourselves and others when we simplistically lump segments of society together as unified blocs.
Richard Alba, author of The Great Demographic Illusion: Majority, Minority, and the Expanding American Mainstream, and SNF Agora Visiting Fellow Musa al-Gharbi will discuss the ways in which an oversimplified understanding of racial identity can lead to mistaken assumptions about people's beliefs, priorities, and political affiliations, and exacerbate already difficult racial divides. FiveThirtyEight politics reporter Alex Samuels will moderate the discussion.
