Crisis Leadership, Education

Political Psychologist Oded Adomi Leshem, PhD, founder of the International Hub for Hope Research at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, will share his work on philosophical, psychological, and political perspectives of HOPE. Oded will also present findings on the hopes for peace in conflict zones worldwide, including his most current studies on hope among Israelis and Palestinians. Is there a correlation between hope and bringing peace? Between hope and activism? How might we use hope more wisely to address problems and advance the big social changes we are fighting for? Come and find out why the word “Tikvah” — is so salient in the Bible, and discover which biblical book hope appears most often. Dr. Leshem is a Senior Research Associate at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem and the author of “Hope Amidst Conflict,” Oxford University Press (2023).
