Hello, everyone. Welcome to the Mindscape podcast. I'm your host, Sean Carroll. Here at Mindscape, we don't have that many hard and fast rules, but we do have some tendencies, some preferences, some inclinations, let's say. And one of them is we don't do politics that much in the conventional sense. We don't invite... political candidates on to debate Republican versus Democratic talking points or whatever. But we are interested in the ideas of politics, right? In political science, in the theory of democracy, things like that. And sometimes the distinction between those two things, the dirty, get your hands messy, realization of politics in the actual world and the theory of politics, the grand ideas that lay behind everything, that distinction is not 100% airtight, right? It's a little bit of an artificial distinction, in fact. And so sometimes the best way to get into the ideas behind politics and democracy, which I'm extremely interested in, is to dig into the reality. But
to look at some actual cases of these kinds of ideas in action to improve how you think about them. This is no different than in physics, doing an experiment and collecting the data. It's not all about theorizing. So that's what we're going to do today. Today's guest is Hari Hahn, who's a professor here at Johns Hopkins. In fact, she is the director of the SNF Agora Institute here at Hopkins. of which I'm a faculty affiliate, I'm proud to say. The Agora Institute is all about studying democracy and how it works. And Hari's work over the years has been about the aspect of democracy which goes beyond making a decision about your preferences and then voting, right? It's not just about Election Day. It's about all the work that's
that goes into changing people's minds, making people think about politics, getting people active, getting people organized, right? All of that part of democracy that goes above and beyond just waiting for election day and then casting your vote. And her latest book is an even more specific example of this. It's called Undivided, The Quest for Racial Solidarity in an American Church.
