About this episode <\/p>\n
From genocide to the rise of fascism, it can feel like there is not much to hope for in today\u2019s political climate, and that there isn\u2019t all that much we can do about it either. This episode speaks to Dr. Claire Yorke, a politics and international relations scholar and author of \u2018Empathy in Politics and Leadership: The Key to Transforming our World\u2019. Claire has spent her career focused on one question; \u201cwhy isn\u2019t politics more empathetic?\u201d and the answer, it turns out, might be closer to home than many of us think.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n “How to cope\u201d is a podcast series that addresses the familiar despair and exhaustion that so many of us have with the modern world. Instead of burying us in more doom-focused content, host Amy Louise Goodman speaks with the inspiring people to understand how they cope, (despite\u2026everything), and how we might too.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Find host Amy on instagram at @amy.louise.g <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Music credit: Octosound, via Pixabay. <\/span><\/span>\u2060https:\/\/pixabay.com\/users\/octosound-39205072\/<\/u><\/span><\/span>\u2060<\/a><\/p>\n Listen to the episode <\/p>\n
