Global Warming and Radical Hope: Passages

For each the five days in advance of the release of this special issue of Public, the editorial team is sharing one of the five inspirational passages that represent positions, perspectives, and practices that have framed their work for the forthcoming issue.

With these passages in mind, we have invited contributions that extend, reframe, or weave together aspects of this focus, and have created an interactive experience that we hope will encourage our visitors to uncover and discover the threads that connect them.

The issue reinforces Public’s goal of providing broad access to important work on publicly-engaged work by challenging traditional forms of knowledge-sharing. Since its founding, Public has embraced alternatives to the long-form illustrated essay, supporting mixed and interactive media that allow ideas to be shared in ways that support multiple-voices, non-linear storytelling, evolving dialogs, and other reader-driven experiences.
