Hosted by the Bristol Digital Futures Institute
What might a focus on futures offer to understanding social differences and inequalities? Could our capacities to imagine, plan for, invest in and make futures be unevenly distributed? If so, what does this tell us about how differences and inequalities are made – and might be challenged?
BDFI academic Professor Rebecca Colman will discuss the notion of ‘future politics’ as a way of capturing the uneven ways in which futures can be attached to and created. She'll reflect on recent research projects that engage with young people, digital media professionals and Mass Observation writers to examine their feelings on time, futures and digital technologies.
