Understanding and Supporting College Students with Empathy
A Guide for Higher Education Practitioners
About this book
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.
