Registration deadline: October 25th
In this workshop we will discuss challenges (limitations and opportunities) and ethical
dilemmas posed by technologies of prospection. Particular emphasis will be placed on
exploring how technologies of prospection (could) mediate, shape and/or disrupt our
capacities (and lack thereof) to engage with the future. The transformative and disruptive
nature of these technologies raises timely questions about their potential social and ethical
issues, as well as the appropriate methods and strategies for addressing them.
This topic can be of relevance to all different lines and tracks in ESDiT. Examples vary from
climate modeling to health apps to artistic explorations of imagined futures.
We will take notes and share a summary with main findings, ideas, and insights with
everyone in ESDiT. People who did not attend are welcome to join potential initiatives that
follow from the workshop.
