Moral Foundations Theory provides a useful framework for talking politics.

We begin by discussing each of the six foundations and getting a taste of how they can manifest differently in different people.

This leads to exploring some of the tensions intrinsic within the foundations themselves, which opens the door to moving from the moral/immoral dichotomy to an appreciation of how interacting with people who are differently moral to us leads to a more nuanced view of any issue and eventually to better solutions.

In this workshop you will:

• Learn to recognize the moral underpinnings of your own views
• Listen for indications that one or more of the six moral foundations is at play in a political discussion.
• Bring morality into a discussion in a non confrontational way
