Abstract
We are measuring the effect of a humanities-based discussion model called Civic Reflection on participants’ opinions and feeling about those who differ in political stance. We hypothesize that, through civil discussion on values, participants will gain a better understanding about each other, thus reducing their discrimination against them.
