SUMMARY: HLS Beyond Presents: Connecting Across Difference with a Game Call
 ed Tango
DESCRIPTION: American democracy is in trouble if we cannot learn to see the
  humanity in the people with whom we disagree.  Harvard Psychology Professo
 r Joshua Greene and his team have created Tango\, a cooperative online quiz
  game that turns members of opposing groups into teammates. Their research 
 shows that playing Tango for less than an hour reduces political animosity\
 , with positive effects lasting four months.

 In August\, over 1\,000 members of Harvard College’s incoming Class of 2029
  played Tango at orientation\, with high enjoyment ratings and positive eff
 ects on openness to people with opposing views and comfort expressing contr
 oversial views on campus. If you’re feeling a little wary of where our coun
