The Rule of Sixty: Finding Common Ground in a Polarized World
With Kevin Schultz

What if Americans agreed far more than we think, if only we asked the right questions? Join Professor Kevin Schultz, Chair of the History Department at UIC, as he shares insights from his groundbreaking project, The Rule of Sixty. Rather than framing questions in polarized terms Professor Schultz's project explores people's nuanced feelings on issues ranging from abortion to race to religion. The surprising result? Most Americans cluster around the middle (roughly 60%), revealing far more common ground than typical debates suggest. Discover how the Rule of Sixty challenges assumptions about division, exposes the gap between government policy and public opinion, and points toward opportunities for bridging differences in today's political landscape.
