As an area of study, educational futures does not aim to predict the future. Instead, it imagines possible, probable, and preferable futures for education. This course takes a transdisciplinary and global approach to map social and political alternatives for educational futures. Particular emphasis is placed on the roles of education, schooling, and curriculum in world building. Through film, art, theory, current scholarship, and other relevant materials, we will develop intellectual and practical strategies to ethically and creatively address urgent challenges.
