Kreativa och kollaborativa processer för sociodigitala framtider

Join us for an engaging talk by Laurène Cheilan that is part of the Imagining and Co-Creating Futures public talks Series Future Thoughts.

Social sciences, design, engineering

In this hands-on lecture, they will tell a story of their experience in the Centre for Sociodigital Futures in Bristol, contributing to the creation of a new field of research at the borders of social sciences, design, engineering and more. This story will be entangled with hands-on activities based on a range of affective and creative methods for researching sociodigital futures.This will take us through 3 important axes of this work: collaboration, participation, speculation. Exploring various practices of research with temporalities beyond the present, we will also take time to reflect on the responsibility and ethics of futures work. Who and what we are we inviting into practices around futures-making and futures-thinking? Who and what are we upholding through these practices?
