President Michael A. Elliott of Amherst College talks with student and president of Amherst Political Union Lukas Luby-Prikot to discuss the challenges of navigating political conversations that can quickly turn divisive and confrontational. From the future of the Republican party to the Israel-Palestine war and the recent election, Lukas shares his perspective on finding common ground amid conflicting viewpoints. “We make it very clear that when people come in, there are some political perspectives that you must bring with you — that everyone is equal in dignity, and that everyone should be treated with respect.”
