In its radical openness and possibility, hope is our vehicle for reclaiming agency in the face of despair.

More than merely wishful thinking,\ncritical hope combines a critical understanding of the past and the present\nwith a resilient belief that things can be different than they are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Topics might include the following (but\nplease feel free to range widely!):<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>What are some of the most\nimportant virtues or attributes in higher education?
