Seminars & Workshops

Whatever we might imagine the future to be, it is certainly unlike our past. To use older models to imagine what's to come is a failure of our imgaination. Forecasting calls for a deep attention to signs, signals and interpretations outside of our comfort-zones and known domains. This lesson is an invitation to thinking in an interdisciplinary fashion, where we stretch our understanding of phenomena outside the contours of "subjects" as carriers of knowledge. How does one link discrete phenomena to fully apprehend signs of the future? How have predictions of the past borne out in history? To learn from disruption is to prepare for the future. By stressing the linking of knowledge and inquiry based approaches, the study of the future can enable our imaginative best to soar to meet the challenges of tomorrow.
