    Slides from the Build Peace conference working group, April 5-6 2014 Polarization -- the pulling apart of two sides and the hardening of attitudes -- is relatively easy to see in many different types of data. Although political scientists have analyzed legislator voting patterns for some time, polarization also shows up clearly in data generated by ordinary citizens. We'll look at examples based on book sales, network structures, social media, and geography. We may be able to use this data to understand the processes of polarization and depolarization, or create metrics by which to evaluate the success of depolarization efforts in the context of conflict resolution.
