It offers ways for higher education classrooms to become sites for the cultivation of a critical form of empathy that can help address the most important challenges of our time.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDrawing on the study of empathy in rhetorical theory and related fields, teacher-scholars from a variety of institutions and backgrounds offer pedagogical rationales and approaches for fostering empathetic, inclusive, and antiracist pedagogies centered around five key themes related to empathetic teaching: difference, citizenship, storytelling, assessment, and process. A reflective and critical approach to empathetic teaching-as presented by the authors in this collection-can begin to address forces of social division, particularly in the ways we read and write about others. Teaching grounded in empathetic principles can offer students ways of relating to one another across cultural, religious, class, ethnic, political, and ideological differences.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eEmpathy and the Other\u003c\/i\u003e is a companion volume to \u003ci\u003eEnacting Empathy: Stories and Strategies from the Writing Classroom\u003c\/i\u003e, which features vignettes and praxis pieces focused on classroom experiences and reflections on teaching empathy. The two collections may stand alone or be read together and are of great interest to writing teachers and graduate students invested in social justice in the classroom.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lisa Blankenship\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1646428269\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781646428267\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Utah State University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/21\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 226\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.04lbs","brand":"Lisa Blankenship","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48807918305535,"sku":"9781646428267","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/empathy-and-the-other-lisa-blankenship-9781646428267","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
