Chloe Nguyen: 2024 Terry Sanford Leadership Award Winner
Chloe Nguyen is one of two winners of the 2024 Terry Sanford Leadership Award. Chloe is passionate about understanding the psychological drivers of intergroup conflict like political polarization and developing interventions to address them. With Polis, Sanford's Center for Politics, she developed a pilot program and suggestions for classroom teaching to improve political discourse on college campuses based in psychology research. She also worked with Braver Angels and Polis to hold debates on controversial topics amongst the campus community to help reduce affective polarization.
In addition to her political polarization work, she was a writer for The Ninth Street Journal and is the president and founder of the Duke Justice Project, an organization working to reduce mass incarceration and assist people who are formerly incarcerated with re-entry.
