Polarizing divides

Abstract

This panel examines the layers of identities that contribute to polarizing divides beyond traditional political partisanship. The paper presentations delve into how moral and political identities, as well as politicized identities related to race, gender, caste, and other societal markers, intersect to influence affective polarization and trust within public sectors. It showcases findings from different contexts, including England, the United States, and India, to uncover the multifaceted nature of polarization.
