How to heal a divided world | Michèle Lamont TED Talks Society and Culture

    • Society & Culture

Sociologist Michele Lamont studies these questions and investigates ways to broaden the circle of recognition and fight the harm of social stigmatization. She lays out the steps needed to make more inclusive societies -- and it all starts by expanding our idea of who matters.
