Understanding Empathy

February 18, 2025 at California State University Monterey Bay

in Lecturer Stratford’s Psychology class 12:00pm (private)

It is one of the most humane traits that we as human beings can use to help us understand one another, to harmonize with cultures different than one’s own, and to work together to problem solve.

In this workshop, we will be looking through a lens of social justice as concerns unconscious beliefs of entitlement over some people. Additionally, a lens of climate justice will be focused on as concerns some environments where folks breathe toxic air. Possible solutions will be discussed in this workshop.

Comments from the Professor: 

“I wanted to take a moment to sincerely thank you for your incredible presentation on empathy.  It’s clear that you’ve put a lot of thought into how we can all cultivate more empathy in our personal and professional lives. We really need it now. 

Your examples were relatable and spoke to the students in meaningful ways.  

Thank you again for your time, effort, and the passion you bring to this topic. It’s greatly appreciated! Kent Stratford

Generating New Visions 

Visions help create change in our lives. What do I have to do to start something new again? Let’s have fun with the power of imagination or just be present to allow something new to happen in its own time.
