From November 9-11, the BABLab hosted “What Is Hope?”, a two-day event bringing together over 15 visiting scholars from around the world to explore interdisciplinary perspectives on hope.

Participants contributed insights from psychology, philosophy, theology, and related fields, using the talks and collaborative sessions to begin shaping a shared framework and working model of hope for future psychological research. The gathering sparked rich conversations, new collaborations, and exciting directions for advancing the science of hope. We are excited to keep building upon this work for a stronger understanding of hope in our future research!
