"Radical Hope" offers enticing strategies and insights for educators who are wondering how to navigate with empathy the state of higher education in today’s politically charged climate. Described by Contingent Magazine as "a full-throated defense of the humanities, a liberal education, and the power of education as a transformational force," "Radical Hope" is an essential text for both teachers and activists invested in social change.
