Dr. Ed Tomlinson lives in Morgantown, West Virginia, where he is a Professor of Management at the Chambers College of Business and Economics at West Virginia University, teaching undergraduate and graduate courses in negotiation and compensation and a Ph.D. seminar on groups and teams. Dr. Tomlinson is also active with Braver Angels, serving, among other things, as red co-chair of the organization’s West Virginia alliance.
Our discussion covers, among other things:
*the classic notion of liberalism and Francis Fukuyama’s “Liberalism and Its Discontents"
*efforts in the classroom to promote depolarization
*his recreational appreciation for shooting ranges
*Gordon Allport’s “The Contact Hypothesis” and how contact is the antidote to stereotyping
*the unique beauty of West Virginia’s waterfalls
Ed finds hope in the many organizations doing good things to promote depolarization and bridge-building and the many wonderful blessings in the United States.
