Ryan Enos on the Phenomenon of Partisan Segregation

In the second episode of our special 2022 election series, host Ryan Coonerty welcomes Harvard Professor of Government Ryan Enos, author of the groundbreaking book The Space Between Us, to the show. They discuss his research on the phenomenon of partisan segregation in our communities and why this trend seems to be accelerating. When we live apart, Enos argues, the ability to make coherent policies that can make a lasting impact is greatly reduced, contributing to the sense of partisan division that has defined our politics in recent years. They also discuss the far-reaching impact of partisan segregation on our collective geography, psychology, social lives, and, perhaps most importantly, elected representation. Tune in to hear more of Ryan’s thoughts about what we should be looking out for as we move towards this year's midterm elections.
