Practices of Hope: A Reader for the Future

Tapestry of perspectives collectively addressing ecological crisis

The ecological crisis confronts all of us today, wherever we live on this planet. And no single discipline possesses the sovereign expertise to address it. Recognising this, Practices of Hope: A Reader for the Future brings together a constellation of some of the finest minds who have engaged with the challenges this crisis poses, both at a local as well as a global scale. The contributors to this international and interdisciplinary anthology belong to diverse fields, including environmental activism, literature, public health, anthropology, science journalism, architecture, and the visual arts.

Their accounts assume varied forms: essays, memoirs, poems, conversations, scientific inquiries, manifestos and artworks, each offering persuasive ideas and compelling prompts to action. Practices of Hope embodies an urgently necessary synergy among the arts, humanities and sciences. It points towards a more viable planetary future.
