At a time of great divisions, professor of sociology and the director of the Institute for Public Knowledge at New York University Eric Klinenberg researches the places that connect us in his new book Palaces for the People: How Social Infrastructure Can Help Fight Inequality, Polarization, and the Decline of Civic Life.

He joins me on the show today to talk all about it.
