SW 536 Futures Thinking and Foresight Practice for Equity, Well-Being and Community Flourishing

The future of well-being and community flourishing is comprised of an array of risks and opportunities. Exploring a variety of social and political dynamics, this course will engage students in futures thinking (theory and philosophies), as well as foresight practice (applied tools) to deepen anti-racist and pro-equity approaches to collective future-making about well-being. Imagination is prioritized as students envision better futures, while responding to the risk array present in the contemporary ecosystem in dynamic tension.
