HOW TO LIVE WITH EACH OTHER

Notes on Sharing a Divided World

A salon with Fahran Samanani

Doors open at 6.30pm. Speaker will start at 7pm

We have come to see difference anywhere, whether in the form of conflicting values or growing ethnic diversity, as an existential threat. Within much of the world, our main response has been to surround ourselves with like-minded people and double down on our own convictions, in an attempt to hold difference at bay. So, how did we get here, and what can we do about it?

Anthropologist Farhan Samanani looks at our modern world and shows how we can build a better, more connected one. Samanani skilfully combines case studies from across the world with his own research to provide insights into the capacity of humankind to connect across divides. Using his invaluable anthropologist's toolkit, he explores the roots of our present tensions and casts fresh light on how we can cultivate common ground, build healthy communities and not just live but flourish together.
