Living Futures: Shortcuts to a Big Idea
Venue: Room 319, Department of Sociology Building, National Taiwan University
Presenter: Deborah Lupton (SHARP Professor, Vitalities Lab, University of New South Wales Sydney)
Moderator: John Chung-En Liu (Professor and Department Chair, Department of Sociology, National Taiwan University)
This presentation provides an overview of my new book Living Futures: Shortcuts to a Big Idea (Routledge, 2026). The book presents an overview of how people engage in lay futuring: that is, social and cultural practices of imagining and preparing for the future. I will discuss the insights offered by the history, sociology, cultural geography, the arts and design, and anthropology of these practices, spanning eras and cultural contexts. I will end with some provocations and methods for new ways of imagining and practising futures.
