Sanctuary School - Innovating to...

Chandler Patton Miranda, Carola...

In Sanctuary School, Chandler Patton Miranda highlights the many ways that K–12 schools can provide safe educational spaces and relevant, responsive resources for immigrant students. Miranda prompts educators to think beyond the baseline definition of sanctuary schools as protective institutions that practice legally supported noncooperation with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) activities. She envisions a whole-school approach to sanctuary that empowers marginalized students via radical welcoming and innovation.In this timely book, Miranda issues a call to action for educators and school leadership to create school spaces where immigrant youth can find belonging even in an era of increased anti-immigrant rhetoric. A forward-looking conclusion equips educators with radical mindset shifts and actionable strategies to navigate a second Trump presidency and an uncertain future for immigrant students. Among other takeaways, Miranda urges educational leaders to align school policy and hiring practices to promote a school culture that nurtures curiosity and ensures that the social and emotional needs of students are being met. This necessary book serves as a blueprint for educators, families, and students to organize within and outside the school community to secure positive outcomes for immigrant students.

Against Empathy - The Case for...

Paul Bloom

A controversial call to arms, Against Empathy argues that the natural impulse to share the feelings of others can lead to immoral choices in both public policy and in our intimate relationships with friends and family. 
Most people, including many policy makers, activists, scientists, and philosophers, have encouraged us to be more empathetic—to feel the pain and pleasure of others. Yale researcher and author Paul Bloom argues that this is a mistake. Far from leading us to improve the lives of others, empathy is a capricious and irrational emotion that appeals to our narrow prejudices. It muddles our judgment and often leads to cruelty. We are at our best when we are smart enough not to rely on it, and draw upon a more distanced compassion.  
Based on groundbreaking scientific findings, Against Empathy makes the case that some of the worst decisions that individuals and nations make—from who to give money to, when to go to war, how to respond to climate change, and who to put in prison—are too often motivated by honest, yet misplaced, emotions. With clear and witty prose, Bloom demonstrates how empathy distorts our judgment in every aspect of our lives, from philanthropy and charity to the justice system; from culture and education to foreign policy and war. Without empathy, Bloom insists, our decisions would be clearer, fairer, and ultimately more moral. 
Bound to be controversial, Against Empathy shows us that, when it comes to major policy decisions and the choices we make in our everyday lives, limiting our empathetic emotions is often the most compassionate choice we can make.

News and Democratic Citizens in...

Johanna Dunaway, Kathleen Searles

Though people frequently use mobile technologies for news consumption, evidence from several fields shows that smaller screens and slower connection speeds pose major limitations for meaningful reading. In News and Democratic Citizens in the Mobile Era, Johanna Dunaway and Kathleen Searles demonstrate the effects of mobile devices on news attention, engagement, and recall, and identify a key cognitive mechanism underlying these effects: cognitive effort. They advance a theory that is both old and new: the costs of information-seeking curb participatory behaviors unless the benefits outweigh them. For news consumers in the mobile era, for example, mobile devices increase the time, economic, and cognitive costs associated with information-seeking. Only for a small few do the benefits of attending to the news on mobile devices outweigh the costs. 
 
 
 
Dunaway and Searles argue that attention, engagement, and recall suffer when people consume news on mobile devices. They then investigate the implications of these effects for the news industry and for an informed democratic citizenry. Drawing on both laboratory and real-world studies, Dunaway and Searles bring the psychophysiology of news consumption to bear on the question of what we could lose in an information environment characterized by a dramatic shift in reliance on mobile devices.
