Although much of the material in the newsletter is written by Guy and Heidi Burgess, we are eager to include essays written by others. If you are inclined to contribute to the discussion, please contact us, either with a written article, or an idea.  We welcome articles that disagree with us (as well as ones that agree with us, or ones that simply go in a different direction).  We have hoped that this would be, to the extent possible, a real discussion about hyper-polarization, other threats to democracy, other intractable conflict challenges and potential responses (we have always felt that "solution" was too optimistic a term). We are interested in materials written specifically for this discussion, as well as links to quality materials that were published elsewhere that we might either link to or repost here. 

In an effort to prevent malicious material and bots, we do not allow direct submission or publication of comments.  But we do promise to publish all thoughtful and serious contributions (including those that may be critical of our approach). On the flip side, though, keep in mind that we do plan to publish what you send--so if you are sending a private comment that you do not want published, please make that clear. 

— Heidi and Guy
