  • Introducing a special series of The PARK podcast called “Political Empathy Lab Summer 2024: 10 weeks, 5 trips, 1 election.


    For 10 weeks this summer, Dr. Lia Howard and seven Penn undergraduates will travel throughout the state, across at least 57 counties conversing with Pennsylvanians, putting skills and dispositions of political empathy into direct practice.

    They will be doing so connecting with people not by polling or canvasing, but simply engaging in face to face conversations listening to people from different parts of the state -rural, suburban, urban -who hold different values and demographic and political identities. They will be engaging in participant observation, interviews and other ethnographic methodologies to guide their travels.

    In short, Political Empathy Lab endeavors to better understand our fellow Pennsylvanians through better conversations with them. Perhaps there are larger lessons to be learned that can be applied to other conversations throughout the nation.

    We invite you to travel with us and follow the project. Six episodes of the podcast will drop over the course of the summer with tools that you can try when you encounter folks you don’t know at the grocery store or at a public park.



    Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

  • Episode 3: Collective Memory and Siloed Narratives
    2024/12/18
    In “Episode 3: Collective Memory and Siloed Narratives,” members of the research team discuss themes they encountered over the summer during the lab, including post-industrial struggle and nostalgia for a more prosperous past. The students explain ways that historical experiences impact political narratives in towns across Pennsylvania, and the ways in which they practiced listening in order to empathetically handle history and economic struggle as they intersect with politics.

    Welcome back.You’re listening to the Political Empathy Lab podcast where connecting with people across difference by listening with heart and mind guided us across Pennsylvania this summer. In Episode 2 of the Political Empathy Lab podcast, "Jumping Right In: Strategies for Connection," members of the research team discuss Political Empathy Lab’s strategies of connection, an approach to engaging with new people and building trust to have more substantive conversations. We begin with the story of a frog and a minnow, and what it’s like to venture into the unknown. The students discuss the beginning of their research experience and the practical steps they developed to initiate productive conversations about politics with strangers.

  • Episode 1: The Art of Politically Empathizing
    2024/10/10

    Over the summer of 2024, Dr. Lia Howard, a political scientist and Fellows Director at the SNF Paideia Program, led a small group of students in the inaugural cohort of the Political Empathy Lab, a project born out of Dr. Howard’s SNF Paideia designated course, “Political Empathy and Deliberative Democracy.”

    The inaugural research project this summer consisted of several trips to towns and cities across Pennsylvania. These trips weren’t to extract policy positions from Pennsylvanians, not to canvas or poll, and they weren’t tourism either. Rather, they were opportunities to meet fellow residents of Pennsylvania within the state, acknowledging that we experience different lived realities and want to try to better understand each other.


    Before they started their travel, the Political Empathy Lab students and Dr. Howard each gathered to explore their thoughts and feelings about beginning such an emotional research endeavor. In this premiere episode, “The Art of Politically Empathizing,” listeners are invited to deep dive into the true meaning behind “political empathy” and meet the Political Empathy Lab research team— who they are, their thoughts about politics in the US right now, what drew them to the lab, and what they’re nervous and curious about.
