Jen Ross and I published a paper which sets out the methodological basis of our Higher Education Futures work:
Bayne, S., Ross, J. Speculative futures for higher education. Int J Educ Technol High Educ 21, 39 (2024). https://doi.org/10.1186/s41239-024-00469-y
It presents a series of speculative scenarios and microfictions focusing on worlds ruptured by climate change, artificial intelligence, revolution and the technological enhancement of humans, connecting each of these to current critical research focused on climate crisis, ‘big tech’, rising global injustice and ‘big pharma’. It emphasises the vital contribution and place of higher education within such futures, and advocates for speculative methods as an approach to maintaining hope.
