Each person has a unique, ever-changing relationship to hope. Hope alone can be transformational-but in moments of despair, or when you're up against profound injustice-it isn't enough on its own. Hope without action is, at best, naive. At its worst, it tricks you into giving up the power and agency you have to change systems that cause suffering.
Enter transformative learning and social justice educator Kari Grain's concept of critical hope: a spark of passion and an abiding belief that transformation is not just possible, but vital. This is hope in action: a vibrant, engaged practice and a commitment to honoring transformative potential across a vast spectrum of experience.
In her latest book, Critical Hope, Dr. Grain asserts that hope is necessary but hope alone is not enough. She advocates instead for critical hope, which is not something you have-it's something you practice. Critical hope is messy, uncomfortable, full of contradictions, and intimately entangled with both the body and the land. Her vision of critical hope requires bearing witness to social and historical trauma and requires interruptions and invitations. And, when practicing critical hope, anger and grief have a seat at the table.
Join Dr. Grain for a conversation introducing the seven principles for practicing critical hope and explore how hope isn't something you have-it's something you do.
