We co-create values-based approaches using a journal-like publishing cycle, focusing on customised solutions for publicly engaged researchers, practitioners, community organisations and radical imaginations.
Radically Hopeful is a company limited by guarantee serving higher education, publishing and community knowledge-making sectors. Led by Kath Burton, an expert in publishing and community engagement, we focus on creating and strengthening effective publishing strategies for scholarly societies, journals, researchers, publishing and community organisations. We offer publication mentoring and consultation, project participation and management and innovative publishing solutions in collaboration with a range of providers.
Kath co-founded the Publishing and the Publicly Engaged Humanities group, which includes scholars, publishers, and librarians who promote the importance of values-driven scholarship. With a bold, hopeful approach in both her professional and community work, Kath combines her publishing skills with food-growing initiatives to strengthen the reach of community-led knowledge production and sharing.
