Details
The 2020 U.S. election is one that will impact all members of our community for at least the next four years. The polarization of political discourse has also made it even more challenging to talk about the election, which makes acknowledging our own assumptions crucial and recognizing that these emotionally heavy topics impact people differently across social identity groups.
For many, the 2020 U.S. election also feels like a referendum on so many critical socio-political issues, such as health care, free speech, racial justice, climate change, gun control, immigration, LGBTQ+ rights, religious freedom, gerrymandering, minimum wage, etc. Research on any one of these issues reveals the complex effects of specific policies on particular groups in our society and can help us understand how the results of this election will reverberate in different ways across our country's diverse populations.
