\nHello everyone! We are taking a break from our regular Roundup this week, but we do have a few things to share with you, including some nerdy social science jokes and cute animal pictures (you’re welcome). We’ll be back with a full report next Friday, but do stop by the site if you are in need of some reading<\/a> and\/or listening<\/a> material over the weekend.<\/p>\n

For many of us, this weekend will be full of\u00a0conversations with friends and family we don\u2019t see often. Given the\u00a0heightened tensions surrounding the U.S. presidential election, there are a few posts around TSP this week that offer suggestions for\u00a0constructively engaging with friends and family who have different political views. Below are some highlights —<\/p>\n

There’s Research on That!<\/a>:<\/h3>\n

“Table Talk for Thanksgiving<\/a>,” by the TSP Grad Board<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“Research shows that family dinner does not actually increase well-being in and of itself \u2013 it only works if the meal-time discussion is used to actually engage with those at the table and learn about their day-to-day lives. In other words, ‘polite’ conversation may not be the best way to bring everyone together.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Contexts<\/a>:<\/h3>\n

“The Case for Seeing Your Trump-voting Family this Holiday Season<\/a>,” by Brittany Dernberger<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“There\u2019s a lot of power in being in relationship<\/em> with others. Taking off our ‘expert’ academic hats, getting outside of our intellectual and likeminded echo chambers, and really listening and sharing with people we love who have divergent viewpoints can be illuminating.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
