SUMMARY:Upskill Series | How not to predict the future?  Thinking in an interdisciplinary fashion by Prof. Maya Dodd
DESCRIPTION:Whatever we might imagine the future to be, it is certainly unlike our past
 . To use older models to imagine what's to come is a failure of our imgaina
 tion. Forecasting calls for a deep attention to signs, signals and interpre
 tations outside of our comfort-zones and known domains. This lesson is an i
 nvitation to thinking in an interdisciplinary fashion, where we stretch our
  understanding of phenomena outside the contours of "subjects" as carriers 
 of knowledge. How does one link discrete phenomena to fully apprehend signs
  of the future? How have predictions of the past borne out in history? To l
 earn from disruption is to prepare for the future. By stressing the linking
  of knowledge and inquiry based approaches, the study of the future can ena
 ble our imaginative best to soar to meet the challenges of tomorrow.\nSpeak
