Abstract
In this introductory chapter, we begin by familiarizing readers with the key terms and concepts of the Radical Hope Research Project. Setting the context of the transnational research, situated in Canada, Taiwan, India, England, and Greece, we then consider some of the current complexities of research encounters with young people across diverse geographies and cultures. Centring theatre-making as a fundamental methodology of the project, we also ponder the larger question of the role of aesthetic expression in social science research. We conclude by offering readers a roadmap for the chapter contributions, underscoring the diverse social and scholarly locations of our research collaborators.
