DESCRIPTION:When: March 24, 2025, 9:30am - 11 am PT / 12:30pm - 2pm ET\n    \nWhere: 
 Online (Virtual)\n\nAs national and global leaders continue to enact 
 exclusionary policies and create discourse that divides by othering: How do 
 we make meaning of the current moment and global climate we are in? How do 
 we build an economy that fosters wellbeing for all in this time? How do we 
 forge ahead and understand pathways towards making progress, together and 
 toward a future of belonging without othering?\n\nJoin the Othering & 
 Belonging Institute UC Berkeley on March 24 for a live webinar where we 
 hope to answer these questions and more. Othering & Belonging Institute 
 Director john a. powell will be joined by researchers and leaders in the 
 fields of authoritarian populism, democracy, belonging economies, and 
 community building. \n\nModerated by OBI’s Deputy Director Ashlin Malouf, 
 the discourse will provide attendees with practical tools and mechanisms 
 for furthering change, and ways of understanding the current moment through 
 a bridging framework. Rachel Godsil, co-founder of the Perception 
 Institute, will also join us for a presentation on the Racial Ideology 
 Project, a groundbreaking study that provides vital data to help us 
 interpret the 2024 U.S. election results and how racial identity has 
 impacted American politics.\n\n\nPANEL:\n\nRachel D. Godsil is a
