In politically polarized climates, many find it difficult to engage in conversation about important sociopolitical issues. It can be especially challenging to navigate these conversations online. Nowadays more and more of our social interactions are happening online, particularly with the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic. Dialogue offers a promising way for people to engage constructively on difficult topics; however, most studies that have explored dialogue interventions have done so in in-person settings. The purpose of this study was to explore an online adaptation of Reflective Structured Dialogue (RSD). RSD is a dialogue intervention developed by family therapists that aims to help people build bridges across social and political differences. An adaptation of RSD was implemented through Zoom with students from a masters-level social work course in the southeast United States. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with participants, post-dialogue. Data was analyzed through thematic analysis and interpretative phenomenological analysis. Findings revealed that participants’ experiences of the online dialogue were shaped by personal needs, past experiences and struggles. Advantages and challenges of holding the dialogue via video platform were identified, with limitations on nonverbal communication being noted as a significant disadvantage. Implications are discussed relevant to virtual dialogue planning and future research.
