In today’s political landscape, #hope is not a passive emotion. It’s an ethical stance; a radical act of defiance; and a refusal to give up imaging the prospect of a better world. Thanks to @mooreska.bsky.social for spotlighting "Hope" for this feature.

Kate Moores@mooreska.bsky.social · 2y ago

Hope may seem like a passive emotion, but it’s one of the most powerful forces shaping our world today, and a collective, political act. With thanks to @indrajitroy.bsky.social for his generosity for this new series asking big questions on York.ac.uk 🙏 features.york.ac.uk/big-question...
