Anthropology of the Future — by Roanne van Voorst
'Friends of the Future' Seminar
Join us on March 28th for an engaging Friends of the Future seminar with Roanne van Voorst, futures anthropologist, writer, columnist and president of the Dutch Future Society. Although anthropology has traditionally focused on the past, there has been a growing interest in future-oriented research in recent years. However, this is not easy for a discipline that primarily relies on fieldwork as its primary data source: methods and tools to study futures in an anthropological manner still need to be developed. Roanne van Voorst is one of those developers. She is affiliated with the University of Amsterdam, where she leads ERC-funded research into the future of healthcare. In her work, she combines Futures-Thinking methods with classical anthropological and ethnographic methods. Register for this talk by emailing Timothy Stacey: t.j.stacey@uu.nl.
