The Liability of Empathy

What does a word cost and who pays when the wrong one is chosen?In this Sort, host and legal researcher Camila maps the gap between what the law says and what the body carries. From the staggering liability a single word can trigger in international law, to a prosecutor describing the abduction of thousands of children as "sustenance," to indigenous Peruvian women who, when asked what healing looks like, asked to understand the men who hurt them.Drawing on John Paul Lederach's framework of moral imagination and somatic research on embodied oppression, Camila asks whether the failure of imagination belongs only to the accused, or also to the system built to hold them accountable.Ep. 2 Reading List:-The Moral Imagination: The Art and Soul of Building Peace by John Paul Lederach-Oppression Embodied by Dr. Rae Johnson -Superando la teta asustada by Damarys Espinoza -The Education of an Idealist by Samantha Power -International Criminal Court proceedings: The Prosecutor v.
