    From rising distrust in institutions to the hardening of ideological lines, the division into extremes is impacting how we organize, innovate, and address societal issues.

    In this PDW we are exploring the question: ๐‚๐š๐ง ๐š ๐ฉ๐š๐ซ๐š๐๐จ๐ฑ ๐š๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ซ๐จ๐š๐œ๐ก ๐ก๐ž๐ฅ๐ฉ ๐ฎ๐ฌ ๐ง๐š๐ฏ๐ข๐ ๐š๐ญ๐ž ๐ฉ๐จ๐ฅ๐š๐ซ๐ข๐ณ๐š๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง-๐š๐ง๐ ๐ข๐Ÿ ๐ฌ๐จ, ๐ก๐จ๐ฐ? Or does it risk glossing over the emotional, systemic, and positional forces that sustain it?

    By bringing together scholarship on paradox and conflict management, we unpack how organizational research can move beyond idealized conceptual framings and toward more grounded, action-oriented responses to division and tension.
