Blog: PRL’s Democracy Fellows program brings 10 Dartmouth students to DC to bridge the partisan divide

Polarization Research Lab

In the inaugural year, PRL Lab Director Sean Westwood traveled with 10 Dartmouth undergraduates to Washington, D.C., for a three-day immersive experience exploring the work required to sustain a healthy democracy. The visits provided students with insight into the day-to-day work of supporting American values, democratic norms, and strong institutions. Students engaged with leaders across partisanship and sectors, including former government, foundations, think tanks, and media.
