Dismantling the Divide
Do you worry about politics being unhinged and unsalvageable? Does the state of the world worry you? Do you ever feel hopeless about what you — a lone person — could possibly do to make things better? “Dismantling the Divide” is a podcast exploring these questions and others, with a simple goal: to build a more peaceful world. The show is built around the 2024 World Summit of Nobel Laureates for Peace, which took place in Monterrey, Mexico. The multi-day event brought together Nobel Laureates, businesspeople, economists, academics, scientists, researchers, politicians, activists, and importantly, young people. Each episode is framed around a key aspect of human civilization: peace, narratives, art & music, war, and justice, with a bonus episode focusing on actionable next steps. Gandhi said it best: “Be the change you wish to see in the world.” We start there, but we also recognize that each person sees the world differently and imagines a different world of tomorrow. The goal is not to promote one idea over the other, but to encourage listeners to value diverse opinions, because this diversity is the foundation of a healthy, prosperous, and peaceful society. The podcast is produced and hosted by award-winning journalist and professor David DesRoches, in partnership with the Albert Schweitzer Institute and the Quinnipiac University Podcast Studio.
