CARD-empathy

These bracelets are the first edition of the Higher Ed Empathy collection. This glimmering style matches moods, emotions that are a key component of empathy -- feeling what others feel. These ones were inspired by a trip to see that last basketball game of the season for Stanford University, where the original empathic mindset research was conducted. They won in the few minutes. This is empathy for and from the seniors, a wearable symbol of joy. Red is globally associated with power and triumph like what was felt that day. The red stones are from Georgia and the white and clear ones are from Aquidneck Island, an island off the coast of Rhode Island. <br><br>This jewelry designed by Ada is inspired by an &quot;empathic mindset&quot;. Experimental research (randomized placebo-controlled field experiments) published in the National Academies of Sciences shows that an empathic mindset can mitigate historic societal inequities like access to education (2016).
