The Book
Untitled_Artwork 2.jpg

The book explores the role of creative teaching in university programs that focus on understanding and addressing contemporary social, economic and ecological challenges. Since its publication it has received several strong reviews. I have given book talks at universities and other organizations in the UK, Europe, the US and Australia and am working with several institutions to design courses focusing on global challenges.

My hope is necessary but it is not enough. Alone, it does not win. But without it, my struggle will be weak and wobbly. We need critical hope the way a fish needs unpolluted water.

To be truly radical is to make hope possible rather than despair convincing.
