Discerning Critical Hope in Educational Practices

How can discerning critical hope enable us to develop innovative forms of teaching and learning and social practices, that begin to address issues of marginalization, privilege, and access across different contexts? This book posits the notion of critical hope not only as conceptual and theoretical, but also as an action-oriented response to despair.
