Teaching Futures Studies: From Strategy To Transformative Change
Journal of Futures Studies, Vol.7(3), pp.35-40
2003
Abstract
In this short piece, I describe my pedagogy in futures studies, based on teaching it in numerous countries (New Zealand, Pakistan, Australia, Andorra, Thailand, Malaysia, the United States, Taiwan, for example), in numerous settings (government agencies, the University, non-governmental organizations, corporations, professional associations) and in short one-day courses, week long courses, and semester long courses. My pedagogical approach is based on teaching about the future (data, trends, litany, for example) and teaching for the future (civilizational challenges, the necessity to decolonize the future) as well teaching in the future (living the future one prefers, as well as possible). My theoretical framework consists of empirical, interpretive, critical and action research approaches. What I teach is based on the following: (1) the main pillars of futures studies; (2) ways that the future can be used; and (3) mapping and change methods.
