Politics of Hope


14 Nov 2008, 4:30pm - 5:30pm

RHB 137a

Event overview

Department
Contact k.nash(@gold.ac.uk)

There has been much take of the 'audacity of hope' in recent times, following a long period in which utopian dreams seemed to have turned to apathy, nightmares or disaffection in the twenty-first century. Is hope now revived because it is necessary to any form of progressive or creative politics? And if so, is hope necessarily future-oriented - and must it therefore be endlessly deferred? Or is there hope that can be experienced here and now if only we pay proper attention, and if so, can it re-vitalise and re-energise political aims and values?

Professor Les Back, Sociology, Goldsmiths
Professor Ruth Levitas, Sociology, University of Bristol

Please come along to listen, question and discuss - everyone welcome.
