IPE Student Conference-Radical Hope & Alternative Futures: Combatting Defeatism Through Revolutionary Imagination

Friday, March 27, 2026 from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm

Our contemporary world faces a multitude of complex, interconnected, and compounding crises. With the collapse of liberal institutions, militarization, and violent destruction that is spreading across the globe today, another reality might be hard to imagine. Yet humanity’s future remains undetermined. The possibility for profound transformation depends on our collective capacity to imagine and enact alternatives beyond the present order. History is not one-sided; oppression has always been met with resistance. This conference is inspired by radical hope; a philosophy that invites us to see beyond despair as we work towards determining humanity’s collective future.
