Lilliana Mason is professor of Government and Politics at the University of Maryland where she researches partisan identity, partisan bias, social sorting, and American social polarization. In this episode, we spend time with political scientist Lilliana Mason and psychologist Dan Kahan, two researchers exploring how our tribal tendencies are scrambling public discourse and derailing so many of our best efforts at progress - from science communication, to elections, to our ability to converge on the truth and go about the grind of building a better democracy. This is the transcript for episode 122 of the You Are Not So Smart Podcast.ĭownload – iTunes – Stitcher – RSS – Soundcloud
