At a time when politics feels bleak and frustrating, I wrote a book on empathy and politics to inject much needed hope into the conversation and offer some ideas for change.

Out soon with @yalebooks.bsky.social @yalepress.bsky.social and available for preorder now 📚

Today I joined ABC News to discuss international diplomacy - including what Trump’s departure from the G7 meant, the implications for the Australian PM and his anticipated meeting, the escalating conflict between Israel and Iran, and the imperative to not lose sight of the continued crisis in Gaza.

It was great to join @aiianational.bsky.social last night to discuss empathy in politics. Despite many reasons to be despondent right now, the ‘age of empathy’ is evolving and is key to vibrant pluralistic democracies. Thank you Bryce Wakefield and team for a warm welcome and many great questions.

Looking forward to speaking at this hybrid event @aiianational.bsky.social tonight on empathy in politics.

Is the Age of Empathy over? Or is it evolving?

What does empathy mean for strategy and security? How can it enhance them, and what are its limitations? We’re looking for contributions for a special section in @ispp-pops.bsky.social drawing on global case studies, and interdisciplinary research. Proposals (250 words) welcome by May 2025.

I spoke with the Work with Purpose team at IPAA ACT about what empathy means for policy and strategy, and why it is integral to finding better solutions.
