House of US Institute for Social
Research does not end with publication.
It lives on in the questions it inspires.
The House of US Institute for Social Empathy is dedicated to deepening society's understanding
of social empathy and its importance in building healthier communities, stronger democracies,
and a more connected world.
Our Mission
Our mission is to deepen society's understanding of social empathy through interdisciplinary
research, thoughtful publications, and the translation of research into practical knowledge. By
making evidence meaningful and relevant to everyday life, we seek to inspire reflection,
encourage dialogue, and support individuals, educators, organizations, and communities in
fostering greater understanding, belonging, social responsibility, and positive action.
Our Vision
We envision a society in which social empathy is more than a concept—it is a shared practice
that helps people better understand one another and contributes to healthier communities,
stronger democracies, and a more connected world.
