Blogging in the ASU College of Global Futures

With the formation of the new Arizona State University College of Global Futures, we’ve taken the bold step of launching a “Dean’s Blog” where my colleagues and I will be writing about our thoughts, ideas and perspectives.

I’ll be posting here every Friday, where I’ll be using the space to creatively explore ideas and insights at the intersection between science and technology, the future, and people; all within the context of my work and my role within the ASU College of Global Futures.

I’ll be writing about what grabs my attention, what I think is interesting and unusual, and what I think is important.

I’ll be playing around with novel and unexpected ways of better-understanding our relationship with the future (expect some weirdness here by the way, and the odd piece that doesn’t work!).

And I’ll be exploring what it means to serve our students to the best of our ability in a college that is focused on the future.

In other words, I’ll be giving readers a ringside view into the inner workings of my often dazed and confused mind as I grapple with what it means to empower others to be designers, architects, and builders, of a better future!

So if you’re interested in what’s going on in my head as we build the new college, be sure to follow along here.
