Directly recognizing and engaging people as agents of change can drastically speed up [] transformation processes because everyone is part of a system, and everyone has a sphere of influence. Activating conscious human agency that is critically reflective of individual and shared assumptions, beliefs and paradigms is a powerful way to shift norms and institutions

Karen OBrien, a professor of Human Geography

Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced

James Baldwin, a novelist

Hope is an embrace of the unknown and the unknowable, an alternative to the certainty of both optimists and pessimists

Rebecca Solnit, a writer

After the final no, there comes a yes, and on that yes the future world depends

Wallace Stevens, a poet

This book is based on my PhD. I am grateful to my two mentors, to Ines Weller for important conceptual and practical support throughout the process, and to Cor van der Weele, for many constructive, valuable and patient comments during the final year of writing.

I appreciate greatly the support from my colleagues at my research center. Further at the University of Bremen, I thank Professor Martin Nonhoff for giving me advice for an initial entrance to discourse-analytical work.

As regards other experts, I am grateful in particular to Daniel Welch for valuable comments on the conceptual basis. I also owe thanks my Finnish colleagues Anu Raijas, Mari Niva, Johanna Mkel and Piia Jallinoja who were instrumental at a critical point of my building the conceptual structure.

I am grateful to my friends far and near for asking me how I am and for giving me so much encouragement, and especially to Jill for her tireless support at different points of the process, and to Nadine for being a great sounding board for conceptual ideas.

All of my extended family you know who you are thank you so much for your support and patience. Also, I will always be grateful to my parents for giving me important values. I wish you were still here so that I could thank you in person!
