"Hope will be produced when, in opposition to what Williams’ describes, we work as educators and citizens, to 'on the whole [meet]… by an integration of… the priorities and interests of public well being and happiness… which will necessarily retain as its central principle… the idea of public democratic control of governance, communication and teaching the public.' Working toward such a goal will require critical discourses against militarism and capitalism, an exposure of the facts of militarism and capitalism, and a challenge to the values they both inculcate, but also critical interventions that produce alternative public spheres, modes of representation based in social justice and peace, other facts and other values, and affective and aesthetic engagements that move beyond critiques of the present order and into new ideological directions and material formations that refuse and negate the 'priorities and interests' of militarism and capitalism."
