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.
mooreska.bsky.social Kate Moores @mooreska.bsky.social · Dec 11
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 🙏
