Hosted by Lena Han and Betsy Kim · society · EN
These days, many are feeling like their country, the world, and possibly even humankind, are doomed. In six deeply-researched episodes, co-hosts and close friends Betsy and Lena ask: where can we find hope? How We Hope investigates, debates, and wrestles with hope from all angles: practical examples of progress, the philosophy and psychology of hope, and stories from those who have lost or regained their faith. We talk to activists, scholars, and our own peers. In every episode, we banter, report, and grapple with our own relationships to hope. Originally distributed with Grab Bag Collab.
