              Dr. Lisa Schirch will provide a survey of the best and worst impacts of technology on polarization and social cohesion. Highlighting case studies and examples in the US within the context of a tense US election, she will explain how the designs of some technology platforms like Facebook and Twitter seem to encourage polarization, and then explain some new tech platforms that can help build greater trust and care among Americans.

She also directs the Social Media, Technology, and Peacebuilding program for the Toda Peace Institute. A former Fulbright Fellow in East and West Africa, Schirch is the author of eleven books, including Social Media Impacts on Conflict and Democracy: The Tech-tonic Shift.
