Spring School Program
The first spring school of the Anthropocene FACTS project focuses on the elaboration of a small-scale prototype in the form of a one-week training including the development of adequate educational material. This is scheduled to be held from monday, may 23rd to friday may 27th, 2022. The School will focus on providing a critical discussion of existing narratives for the 21st century. Global change issues will be first reviewed on an historical and systemic perspective as a prerequisite to the second part of the School dealing with a critical analysis of possible 21st century trajectories and the discourses (scientific or other) bearing on them.
This program is structured in 5 main parts :
- Historical Perspective – Where we come from
- Global Change & Environmental limits – Where we are
- Models of the future – Where we are
- Sociopolitical and sociotechnical lock-ins, vulnerabilities and conflicts – Where we are
- Narratives of the future – Critique of where we believe we may go
