Christopher Federico, PhD, one of three professors interviewed by the Minnesota Daily was asked how he was managing classroom discussions of today's polarized politics.

It's a rundown of what empirical research says about what people believe about certain things.”

Federico holds a joint appointment at the University of Minnesota in Psychology and Political Science.
