An Empathy Lab
I got an unexpected (and very funny) lesson in how to teach about empathy this weekend. While planning for a funeral no less.

This is the first of a series of blg posts I will do while writing the instructor's guide for From Conflict Resolution to Peacebuilding. Both the book and the guide will be available in the fall. Here, I focus on why we need to practice what we preach in the classroom--and everywhere else.
This week, my friend Doug Irvin-Erickson is off in Norway for a conference on genocide prevention, so I get to teach his class on the nature of conflict. Since he actually covered much of that topic the first session, I decided to cast a very broad net to set the analytical and political agenda for the course—and for the rest of the students’ lives.
