As my last editorial contribution to the CEC Journal, I am delighted to share our first, completely bilingual issue about a theme that seems more relevant and necessary than ever.

I am extremely grateful to the authors included here, who have courageously shared their vulnerabilities in order to speak to what "Radical Hope" means to them: in questions of queerness; in questions of womanhood; in questions of education. A special thanks to Atenea Rosado, our Spring 2018 Bartos Fellow, for curating and translating the works included.

It has been a pleasure overseeing the CEC Journal thus far, and I look forward -- hopefully; radically -- to its evolution.
