Hope's work

Hopeswork.org is a small window on the many people who try to practise hope while facing the world as it is.

I’m David Gee, an activist and writer with a special interest in the meaning of hope in the face of global crises.

Some of my other work is on my personal website.

I live in Oxford on a boat, Promise, which I share with some spiders.

Accessibility

I’ve run this site through an online accessibility checker and it has passed all the checks.

But if I’ve missed anything, or you have any suggestions for improvements, I’d like to hear from you – thank you.

Thanks

Special thanks to Arzhia Habibi, Caitlin Knights, Sunniva Taylor, and Ersilia Verlinghieri for their thoughtful attention to the drafts of some of the blog pieces I’ve published here, and to Tim Stead’s work with me on the queries in the study guide to Hope’s work.

Thanks also to artists who’ve allowed me to show their work here: Arvindh Baburam, Daniel Bălănescu, Sarah Gittins, Arzhia Habibi, and Emily Johns, and to Andrew Morrey for the picture of me on this page.

And abiding thanks to the Joseph Rowntree Charitable Trust for helping to get this project off the ground a few years ago.
