Casting Hope as the Lead in Higher Ed With Dr. Jessica Riddell
Manage episode 460135224 series 3555573
If "all the world's a stage," as Shakespeare believed, then hope should be cast as the lead, argues Dr. Jessica Riddell of Hope Circuits Institute. Riddell contends that hope can transform higher education into spaces where humans can truly flourish. Drawing inspiration from the theater, she introduces a novel approach to integrating hope into systems that are beloved, resilient and broken.
Join Dr. Riddell and host Dr. Emma Zone as they explore how hope can be actioned to rewire universities and how with hope as the leading character, we can change the narrative of broken systems and our responses to them.
In this episode they touch on:
- the role of hope in higher ed institutions
- the power of critical hope in the face of broken systems
- why the default response to a crisis needs to be rethought
- the need to reevaluate your default response to crisis
- how a system can be broken and loved at the same time
- conceptual tools that support divergent thinking
