About
The Julie Ann Wrigley Global Futures Laboratory is hosting the 4th International Conference on Anticipation November 16th-18th 2022 at Arizona State University in Tempe,
Arizona and a virtual conference on November 4th, 2022.
The overarching aim of the conference and of the interdisciplinary field of Anticipation Studies is to create new understandings of how individuals, groups,
institutions, systems, and cultures use ideas of the future to act in the present. This Conference builds on prior conferences in Trento, Italy (2015, led by Roberto Poli),
London, England (2017, led by Keri Facer) and Oslo, Norway (2019, led by Andrew Morrison).
Living with intractable and ineradicable uncertainty leads humans to read the tea leaves, consult the oracle, and tell imaginative stories.
Increasingly, we tend to reach for forecasting, statistical analysis and data-driven scenarios, oftentimes narrowing the production of particular types of futures.
The Anticipation Conference in 2022 is devoted to opening up the study of anticipation to new voices, new spaces and new approaches.
This fourth conference will emphasize questions of justice in 7 thematic areas: Public Futures, Politics, Justice and Ethics of Anticipation,
Decolonizing Anticipation, Critical Anticipatory Capacities, Creativity, Innovation and New Media, Time & Temporalities, and ‘Also You!’.
