“Empathy is a value, but it is also a skill. And it is not a nice-to-have skill, but a vital element in a healthy democracy. Effective and respectful conversation between people with different views is not possible if people are not willing to look at the world through another person’s eyes.” 

John Coleman is the dean of the College of Liberal Arts at the University of Minnesota and professor of political science. He studies political parties, campaign finance, and elections.
