Imagination not as escapism\, but as a rigorous practice for exposing power\, naming harm\, and cultivating more just\, livable futures. \nAttendees will take a systematic approach to developing emerging\, technological solutions by interrogating policies\, research\, narratives\, and outcomes.  \nWe’re delighted to offer discounted tickets to students\, the American Academy of Religion\, and the Wabash Center.

The inherent inquiry-based approach centers questions about how technological design and implementation shapes\, and is shaped by\, human systems and experiences.  \nThis approach combines critical analysis (i.e. history\, power\, values\, resources) with creative foresight (scenarios\, prototypes\, policies) and participatory methods (co?design\, stakeholder narratives). Through iterative cycles of imagination\, research\, prototyping\, and reflection\, we ask: Who benefits? Who is harmed or excluded? What social practices will this enable or disrupt? What unintended outcomes may occur? How might we change the future today? \nThe result is a design that is not only usable and useful but accountable and anticipatory—technology built  not merely as an instrument but as an active\, dynamic partner to human life \nVideo Links \nICE at Airports\, IL Primaries & AfroFuturism as Resistance | The Signal LIVE Ep 13  \nTHE MAPS.
