Toxic Polarization in America: What's to be done?

America is often referred to as a melting pot. However stark divisions have appeared along political, moral, and racial fault lines. How is it possible to de-escalate the rhetoric? Media has played a role in creating the current atmosphere of demonization; can it also help us to gain a more balanced perspective?

Please join us as panelists Dr. Chris Foreman, Network lead for Deliberation Gateway and Braver Angels Ambassador; Dr. Frank Kaufmann, President of the Twelve Gates Foundation and founder of The Settlement Project, and Cheryl Wetzstein, Senior Advisor, Times Global Media Group and former reporter, The Washington Times weigh in on this vital issue and discuss possible solutions.

Japan-Korea Bridge Tunnel New Possibilities and Context

Since the opening of the 31.5-mile-long English Channel Tunnel in 1994 the world has seen renewed interest in the possibility of creating a similar connecting bridge between Japan and Korea. Big infrastructure projects like the Fehmarn Tunnel connecting Germany and Denmark or Norways’ proposed Coastal Highway continue to stretch the limits of engineering technology. Over the last 20 years, a dedicated group of individuals and organizations has continued to explore the possibilities and benefits of creating a connection between Japan and Korea from various perspectives. Such a project would have an enormous economic impact on the region, especially after the opening of North Korea, providing a new trade route connecting Japan and Korea to all of Eurasia. It would also put real substance to the expressed aspirations of the recent Camp David trilateral summit between the US, South Korea and Japan.

Stephen Costello, analyst/consultant and Director of AsiaEast, researched in Korea and Japan the economic, political, financial and environmental impacts that this project would have and will present his ideas on the long-term impact. Dale Garratt, PhD, has recently published a novel, The Peace Road: A High-stakes, Geopolitical Thriller, which takes a different approach to popularizing the idea of creating a road connecting North and South Korea together and bringing an end to escalating nuclear tensions.
