Proposal for an 'Emergent Media and Futures Studies' Program (Part 1)
The website will also have an educator section, where this template I mentioned earlier would be located, as well as sample syllabi, modules, and course topic ideas, all available for professors to use. This section will be in wiki format, so new material can be added by educators anywhere. It'll be similar to the Foresight Education Project wiki, but with a media education twist.
I'd like the site to be open source, where anyone can contribute or partner up. I'd like to set it up as a foundation/non-profit, rather than a site specifically affiliated with The New School or any particular program. I'd hope to get support from various organizations, such as the WFSF, WFS, ASF, colleges and universities, and anyone else interested in promoting the diffusion of Futures Studies into traditional educational programs.
Intrigued?
What I'm working on now is how to put together the perfect "pitch", which would include:
- A clear, concise, and easily digestible answer to the question "What is Futures Studies?"
- Why integration of foresight education is critical
- Guidelines/framework for integrating futures studies material into current course offerings
- list of 'core' futures studies coursework to roll out (ie - a methods course, a theory course)
- sample syllabi, concepts
Anyone interested in collaborating with me on this, or offering resources to point me in the right direction, please respond here or email me directly at venessamiemis@gmail.com. Thank you!
