Roundtable

A Meditation on Hope in a Time of Despair

Chair(s): Lynn Frogett (University of Central Lancashire)

Presenter(s): Farhad Dalal (Group Analyst and Psychotherapist)

This talk is a personal account of the struggle to find and sustain hope in these despairing times. When faced by the grim reality of a world overrun by right wing populists pedalling their politics of hate, violence, malice and greed, is it even worth the effort to look for hope? Where is the light in this ever darkening world – or has it already been extinguished?

This talk is my attempt to work my way towards hope. It is not certain that I will get there. It is a work in progress.
