Hope thrives at all costs.

Join us on Thursday, May 4, 2023 (9:00 AM - 10:30 AM PST / 12:00 PM - 1:30 PM ET / 6:00 PM - 7:30 PM CET) for our next event in the ongoing series The Edges in the Middle, where OBI Global Senior Fellow Bayo Akomolafe will meet with celebrated Canadian author, professor, and social activist Naomi Klein; and, Dr. Yuria Celidwen, a scholar of Indigenous Nahua and Maya descent from the highlands of Chiapas (Mexico), Senior Fellow of OBI, and thinker whose work straddles the intersections between Indigenous studies, cultural psychology, and contemplative science. Together, we will explore the untrod path with feet unshod; we will construct a stranger thesis that calls into question – if only for a moment – the anthropocentricity of hope in becoming-responsive to explosive transformations. We will investigate the agency of grief, the invitation nestled within the idea that to stand a chance, we might need to fall.
