Bridging the Gap Methodology
This extended Bridging the Gap film intersperses personal stories from students with an examination of the background, science, and methodology of bridgebuilding. Simon Greer, the founder of BTG, talks with psychologists Jonathan Haidt and Barbara Frederickson about the current atmosphere on campuses and why it’s more important than ever to intentionally cultivate skills that help students form connections and care across difference. The film highlights how Spring Arbor University and Oberlin College begin a collaboration that challenges long-held assumptions on both campuses while forming deeper relationships among students from both schools.
