Engaging Young Adults in Politics

Guest: Katy Harriger, PhD, Professor of Politics and International Affairs at Wake Forest University  Political views in America are more polarized than at any point in recent history, and that’s not likely to change soon, judging from the tenor of the current presidential election.  But what if we wanted it to change?
