SUMMARY:Consortium Workshop: Jodie Jensen
DESCRIPTION:\nThis presentation examines the philosophical assumptions u
nderlying how researchers define and study empathy and the self. I will
interrogate what we mean by “perspective-taking\,” and the implications
these meanings carry for empirical work. In practice\, does perspective-
taking actually entail that the self subsumes the other—projecting one’s
own opinions\, beliefs\, emotions\, and sacred values onto them? Or doe
s it mean that the self is subsumed by the other - becoming so porous th
at it loses fidelity to its own core commitments? As Levinas reminds us\
, the other is never fully graspable within the terms of the self\, comp
licating assumptions about what empathy can achieve. I will introduce a
conceptual model that supports genuine perspective-taking while maintain
ing fidelity to the self\, fostering empathy that honors both self and o
ther. This model encourages principled\, collaborative solutions—even in
polarized contexts—and opens the door for interdisciplinary engagement.
