# 95, OTOH, Glen, April, & Jerry Henderson provide update on polarization research and solutions, Part 1, Feb 6 2025
For this first of 5 parts of an extended conversation, Glen and April welcome a returning guest, Dr. Jerry Henderson, a retired psychologist. In 2022, Glen and Jerry discussed some key research findings and expert opinions on political polarization, formation of beliefs in humans, and related topics. In this new 5-part series, the three of us are updating information in this rich field of study, as we each provide some of our highlights from the latest research and thinking on political polarization and related topics. After we provide a brief introduction to the structure of the series, we each briefly describe our credentials and other work that establishes our credibility in providing this information. We then begin to provide our thoughts on topic 1: Why is it important to understand political polarization? April starts with some basic definitions and questions for how we can assess our own degree of polarization. Next, we all engage in discussion about the information April provided.
In the next episode, part 2 in this series, Jerry and Glen will present their thoughts on the importance of understanding polarization, after which we engage in discussion about the newly presented information.
