DESCRIPTION:Democracy -- and effective decision-making and compromise wi
 thin democratic systems -- requires trust. But as American s
 ociety has become more diverse\, gridlock has ensued\, and so 
 has controversy. Some scholars argue that the more diverse a
  neighborhood or society\, the less people trust their neighb
 ors and fellow citizens. Others say that living among people
  who look and life differently makes people better informed 
 and more sensitive to differences -- and thus better\, more c
 areful citizens. Almanac of American Politics co-author Mich
 ael Barone\; University of California Irvine sociologist and 
 The Diversity Paradox co-author Jennifer Lee\; and City Unive
 rsity of New York scholar and Blurring the Color Line author
  Richard Alba visit Zócalo to discuss the challenges\, and t
 he opportunities\, that diversity creates for democracy. This
  event is produced in partnership with Zócalo Public Square
 .\n\n	Moderated by Joe Mathews of the Center for Social Cohesi
 on\n\n	Culver Arts Center 3834 Main Street\, Riverside CA 92501
 \n\n	Tuesday\, September 25\, 7 pm\n\n	RSVP here!
