For this episode, we turn to the disciplines of psychology and urban studies to discuss ways to learn about ourselves and our communities as we think about the deep understanding required for political empathy. Dr. Lia Howard talks with Caroline Connolly, Associate Director of Undergraduate Studies of Penn's Department of Psychology and Marisa Denker, Executive Director of the stakeholder and community engagement firm, Connect the Dots. This episode explores empathy from the inside out and from the bottom up, as we grapple with individual cognition and grassroots community engagement.
