Ant 105 Intro to Futues
Dec 19 2008, 12:23 AM EST
I composed and taught this course ...(taught f2f, also with full-service Bb-Vista support shell ... where I can accept adjunct faculty ... ) with three thematic objectives: i. exercises in getting acquainted with one another, with the 'university' and with ways of thinking about the future, ii. factors in history / anthropology that focus/ 'forecast' a 'narrower' range of alternative futures, and iii. the Ethnographic Futures Research (R.Textor) strategy for eliciting how members of a (sub-)culture think about futures. (The results were kind of (devastatingly) amazing! Simplistically: Phx suburbia pasted onto 2038 !) I now have my first round results ( my own experiences and the students' feedback, of this trial version, which I'll be revising between now and ... beginning Jan 9( ?) I'll welcome all your queries and comments ... on any aspect(s) of this pilot voyage. Also your ante'ing up your own syllabai, lesson plans, and actual teaching experiences !!! Reed * I intend to add a "web-search" assignment - 1ph review @ 3 websites per week - with a rich and interactive 'menu' of "futures resources" provided in course shell, but not restricted to that. I'll appreciate your critical & constructive feedback in this thread. rdr Do you find this valuable? |
