CAMBRIDGE FORUM invites you to join us for a free Zoom discussion with Professor Sherry Turkle. Prompted by the pandemic, the ensuing lockdown created a slew of emotional challenges for everyone, from toddlers to seniors. Now that our social skills have atrophied, how will be retrain ourselves to interact with each other again?


To help us understand how we might rejuvenate our senses and flex our empathy muscles once again we will be joined by guest speaker, MIT Professor Sherry Turkle. In her new memoir, The Empathy Diaries Turkle discusses her family, her upbringing and intellectual development to explain how these elements shaped her life’s work. Turkle explores a counterintuitive pattern observed across many decades devoted to keeping people connected: that empathy and connection can arrive when we feel the most alone and unfamiliar. So, there is hope in sight.


Join us for an intriguing conversation moderated by psychologist and psychoanalyst, Dr. Todd Essig - Coming to our Senses: TALKING ABOUT EMPATHY with Sherry Turkle on Monday, April 5 at 4 pm (ET) and tell us about how your own experiences.
