In this first episode of Room for Interpretation, sociologist and therapist Ask Foldspang Neve speaks with Poya Pakzad — co-founder of Eftertryk, columnist at Information, and author of the daily Gaza Brief — about what it means to stay engaged in a world that feels increasingly unchangeable.

They discuss Palestine, activism, burnout, and the erosion of faith in collective action — and ask how we might keep our moral and emotional imagination alive when despair seems more rational than hope.
