Hope work in social movements

About the seminar

 Erlend Kok is a PhD student in sociology at the University of Oslo, where he researches hope in social movements. In the social movement literature, hope is routinely held to be a premise for action. In aiming to better understand the mechanisms of hope and how it varies according to political context, movement, and network, he conducts fieldwork in the environmental and pro-Palestine movements in Oslo and Berlin.
