Gorgi Krlev, from ESCP, will present "Desirable Futures & Prospective Theorizing".

Abstract: With the looming planetary emergency, the future will be anything but an extension of the past. Yet theorizing the future poses a peculiar problem. By definition, it is not present yet. The conundrum of the future is that it requires conceptualizing and theorizing what is not (yet) observable and does not (yet) exist. How to then theorize (for) desirable futures?
