Publisher's Synopsis
This practical book shares the tools and processes that higher education professionals can take to develop empathy and perspective-taking. Guided by a framework for developing empathy, each chapter describes how to implement empathy and perspective-taking in the key domains of practice: self, students, colleagues, and social justice. Ultimately, the book discusses how empathy and perspective-taking can promote student success, holistic well-being, and positive change in college and university settings. Each chapter is supported by real-world examples and strategies for higher education practice. This is a must-read for those working with college and university students-especially for those with students who have identities and backgrounds different than their own-to develop the skills needed to support themselves, their students, and their colleagues.
