SUMMARY:Rhetoric and Evidence in a Polarized Society
DESCRIPTION:Mario Small will discuss why the public discourse on poverty
 \, inequality\, and economic opportunity requires improving ou
 r qualitative\, not just quantitative\, literacy. He argues th
 at the public discourse about these problems is undermined b
 y an inability to communicate evidence about their causes an
 d potential solutions. Some of this evidence is statistical\,
  but much of it stems from qualitative studies about the liv
 es and communities of the disadvantaged. He argues that an e
 nhancement of qualitative reasoning would allow more serious
  consideration of the evidence\, enhance public discourse\, an
 d lead to a more effective politics. \n\n
