“The only way you teach empathy is through real experience. You have to meet people, talk to people, and walk alongside them.”

Dr. Laura Robinson-Doyle recently joined the Dallas Dialogue with Dale podcast for a conversation on empathy, belonging and the experiences that shape how we understand one another. Her work challenges students to move beyond assumptions and engage more deeply with the communities around them.
