Hope can take many forms. For Paul Stamets, it’s about promising new research that could save the world’s dying bee colonies. Sarah Jaffe is inspired by the power and discipline of union and community organizers. And Gwendolyn Oxenham, a former professional soccer player, anticipates a surge of interest and equality in the sport with the 2019 Women’s World Cup.

Hope can also be about the present. In her essay, “How Cancer Changes Hope,” Kate Bowler, facing a diagnosis of Stage IV cancer at age 37, writes, “The terrible gift of a terrible illness is that it has in fact taught me to live in the moment.”
