Prof. Terri Givens writes about harnessing radical empathy to create positive change in powerful new book



Congratulations to Dr. Terri Givens on publishing Reckoning: Creating Positive Change through Radical Empathy with Bristol University Press.

Anti-racist movements have continued to grow worldwide after the death of George Floyd in 2020. Following the BLM protests, many promises were made to deal with the impact of structural discrimination. While this led to more talk than action, there has also been meaningful change, some of which has gone under the radar.

In this urgent and hopeful follow-up to her best-selling book Radical Empathy: Finding a Path to Bridging Racial Divides, Givens highlights the promises that were delivered. Spotlighting real progress and practical strategies, she shines a light on the underreported wins and empowers readers to see what’s possible when radical empathy is put into action.

Walking the reader through creating change, from apathy to empathy to action, the book offers real-world advice for those looking to bring about positive change at all levels – whether they are operating in the world of business, non-governmental organizations, academe or policing.
