Hi everyone,I’m giving this Substack Podcast thing another try.This time, listen in for a commentary on my last Substack post about the Trust for Public Land’s “Common Ground Framework.” I talk about some other social psychology concepts not represented in the framework, like Social Trust and Community Capacity, and why I incorporated them into the infographic.Please let me know what you think!

I’ve decided to dip my toes into the world of audio!I’m picturing us sitting in front of a cozy living room fire. You’ve just read my last Answer is Community post and are curious to talk more. We get lost in deep conversation, exploring ideas and spinning stories. And when we’re done, that 10-15 minutes of your time feels totally worthwhile.Sound good? I hope so!For this inaugural podcast attempt, we’ll take a closer look at some of the social psychology topics we discussed in my conversation with Linda Tropp. I talk about the fascinating origins of Intergroup Contact Theory, it’s profound evolution over many decades, and its intersection with the work of community engagement.So plug-in those earbud and give it a spin.Please let me know what you think. It’s kind of experiment and I have no idea how this will go over. Will you like the sounds of my voice? Find it worth your time? Should I just stick to writing?
