There are many misconceptions about bridging differences, so we consulted with researchers and practitioners to clarify what it is—and what it isn’t.
What Is the Bridging Differences Playbook? Under our Bridging Differences program, we have reviewed decades of scientific studies, interviewed dozens of leaders, and surveyed the landscape of relevant programs. From this work we have collected enduring wisdom and best practices for bridging political, racial, religious, or other divides.
The Power of Bridging breaks down four key terms: bridging, belonging, othering, and breaking. In the book, powell explains what it means to truly belong or feel connected to oneself and to people, and what it feels like when we engage in breaking, or denying the full stories, complexities, or humanity of those we consider “other.”
That is why we work to cultivate the will and practice the skills for bridging gaps and crossing lines of difference to solve pressing problems, on campuses, in workplaces, congregations, organizations and communities. At this moment, this is counter-cultural work.
