@LTHEchat A1 Seeing the other person and their humanity. We should take a more compassionate response to so many decisions in higher education, but we don’t. #LTHEChat
@LTHEchat For me it is having empathy and being able to show others you care and demonstrate this with kindness, provide others with time to listen without judgement, offer help and encouragement. #LTHEchat
@LTHEchat A1 trying to stand in someone else's shoes. Impossible to do really, but as an exercise to decenter yourself it has a certain power in seeing connections #LTHEchat
@LTHEchat A1 compassion means shared suffering. Great if it prompts resolution or improvement but can lead to burn out if academics have empathy with anxieties but insufficient empowerment to act #LTHEchat
@LTHEchat A1 Understanding and acknowledging we are all difference and everyone has different approaches to the same thing etc. walking a mile a someone’s shoe helps to understand it. #LTHEchat
