CFS Conference: Empathy, Group Membership and We-Intentionality


An Interdisciplinary Conference

How does empathy enable social or group identity? Does group membership affect interpersonal understanding, and how does it modulate empathy along in-group/out-group divides? Can groups be targets of empathy, or individuals only? Are collaborating individuals better empathizers?
