Scenarios and Future Societies

Abstract Submissions Closed

RC07 Futures Research (host committee)

Language: English


This session will examine the relevance of scenarios in developing understanding of how societies of the future will be organised. Papers are invited both from those who have been involved in scenario developments and from those who wish to analyse conceptually what is involved in scenario work in sociology. The presumption of this session in thinking futures is that they are sociomaterial, that is not simply technological but also not “purely” social.
