Description: Empathy Beyond US Borders by Gary J. Adler, Jr Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description For social scientists studying transnational civic engagement, activism or religious movements, this book analyzes how empathy, awareness, and motivation are organized through travel and cross-cultural engagement. Educational leaders who promote experiential learning or global citizenship programs can critically reflect on the organizational and cultural challenges of those initiatives. Publisher Description How do middle-class Americans become aware of distant social problems and act against them? US colleges, congregations, and seminaries increasingly promote immersion travel as a way to bridge global distance, produce empathy, and increase global awareness. But does it? Drawing from a mixed methods study of a progressive, religious immersion travel organization at the US-Mexico border, Empathy Beyond US Borders provides a broad sociological context for the rise of immersion travel as a form of transnational civic engagement. Gary J. Adler, Jr follows alongside immersion travelers as they meet undocumented immigrants, walk desert trails, and witness deportations. His close observations combine with interviews and surveys to evaluate the potential of this civic action, while developing theory about culture, empathy, and progressive religion in transnational civic life. This timely book describes the moralization of travel, the organizational challenges of transnational engagement, and the difficulty of feeling transformed but not knowing how to help. Author Biography Gary J. Adler, Jr is Assistant Professor of Sociology at the Pennsylvania State University. His research on culture, civic organizations, and religion has been published in numerous journals, including Social Problems, the Journal for the Scientific Study of Religion, and Social Science and Medicine. He is the editor of Secularism, Catholicism, and the Future of Public Life (2015) and co-editor of American Parishes: Remaking Local Catholicism (forthcoming).
