Egalitarian Futures Research Group

Main content

Float in Singapore

The Egalitarian Futures Research Group (FUTURES) is globally comparative and located in the Department of Social Anthropology at the University of Bergen (UiB). Our point of departure is the idea that the future - the orientation towards a time yet to come - is fundamental for understanding contemporary global society.

Our group of researchers empirically map and investigate various groups of people who are particularly and intensively preoccupied with futures.
