From Polarization to Possibility: Uptake, Alignment, and Politeness in an Epistolary Exchange on School Choice
In this session, Dr. Ekaterina (Katya) Moore and Dr. Jenifer Crawford share early findings from a discourse analysis of letters exchanged by Frederick Hess and Pedro Noguera. They focus on how the writers open by acknowledging polarized debate (“more heat than light”) and then jointly reframe their dialogue as “more illuminating,” including the recurring commitment to “shed more light than confusion” and “pursue a fair and reasonable path forward.” They trace how this framing is sustained through patterned uptake and intertextual echoing (the “light” motif, quote-by-quote alignment), which appears to “level up” disagreement without escalating tone. They also examine how politeness and facework (“Dear Pedro, my friend”) and strategically ordered disagreement (agreement to uncertainty to stronger departure) help maintain a civil register, even when the language carries implicit critique (e.g., “nominally charged,” “I’m cool with unsafe… schools enrolling fewer kids”). They close by considering what this kind of “model” exchange may enable, and what it may quietly bracket, when speakers position themselves outside “external polarization.”
