Terri is author of, Radical Empathy: Finding a Path to Bridging Racial Divides.   "We live in a time when practicing  empathy, taking action, and creating change and building trust are more important than ever."   "Radical Empathy is the core idea that runs through this book. It requires moving beyond walking in someone else's shoes to taking action that will not only help that person but will also improve our society.   Practicing radical empathy can provide real change in peoples lives, and I empathize the word practicing - I focus on the fact that having empathy is different from practicing empathy."

March 10, 2021
Dr. Terri Givens returns to the show to talk about her newly released book Radical Empathy: Finding a Path to Bridging Racial Divides and its implications in higher education and society more broadly. We touch on Terri’s personal story and how it taught her to be vulnerable and to get comfortable in her own skin. This involves empathy for yourself, your family, and your neighborhood as you progress to take action to effect change which is the radical part of Radical Empathy.
