Higher education has seen better days. Harsh budget cuts, the
precarious nature of employment in colleague teaching, and
political hostility to the entire enterprise of education have made
for an increasingly fraught landscape. Radical Hope is an ambitious
response to this state of affairs, at once political and practice -
the work of an activist, teacher, and public intellectual grappling
with some of the most pressing topics at the intersection of higher
education and social justice. Kevin Gannon asks that the
contemporary university's manifold problems be approached as
opportunities for critical engagement, arguing that, when done
effectively, teaching is by definition emancipatory and hopeful.
Considering individual pedagogical practice, the students who are
the primary audience and beneficiaries of teaching, and the
institutions and systems within which teaching occurs, Radical Hope
surveys the field, tackling everything from impostor syndrome to
cell phones in class to allegations of a campus 'free speech
crisis'. Throughout, Gannon translates ideals into tangible
strategies and practices (including key takeaways at the conclusion
of each chapter), with the goal of reclaiming teachers' essential
role in the discourse of higher education.
