Theme cabinet: Moorings - comfort and hope in uncertain times

Over the next few months, the Theme Cabinet will explore the topics of hope, comfort and resilience.

Search for meaning and stability

Under the title Moorings - comfort and hope in uncertain times, a collection of novels, poetry, essays, and scientific works has been brought together to reflect on the search for meaning and stability in a world that can sometimes feel overwhelming, whether it concerns climate anxiety, geopolitical unrest or personal loss.

New perspective

We invite you to read beyond the boundaries of your own field and discover how literature, non-fiction and science can offer a new perspective on themes such as vulnerability, resilience and connectedness. Imagine reading philosophical essays alongside contemporary novels or climate science alongside poetry.

The Theme Cabinet has been curated in collaboration with the Faculty of Religion, Culture and Society. You can find the books on the second floor of the University Library stairwell until May. If you prefer to read digitally, take a look at our Curated Lists.
