The course information on this page is being finalised for 2016. Please check again before classes commence.

This course aims to broaden student awareness of futures, how they are created, how they relate to individuals and societies and how innovation impacts upon them. The course particularly, but not exclusively, references emerging technologies and develops student capabilities with a range of foresight techniques. It encourages exploration of different social perspectives grounded in contrasting world views and engages with the question of change within our societies. The course is designed to increase the mindfulness of those involved in creating new ventures with respect to how science, technology and innovation generally influence and create social change. Due to the experiential learning in exercises and in-class assessments, class absences can severely impact on satisfactory completion of assessment items. Participation and attendance in ALL course activity is critical to Pass this course.
