Bergen Group for Research on Human Futures
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. We see a particular orientation towards the future developing in relation to ecological crises, economic uncertainty, deprivation and dispossession, management of food, energy, and wealth, and accordingly, massive mobilisations around the domains of religion, freedom and new technologies.
Our group of researchers empirically map and investigate various groups of people who are particularly and intensively preoccupied with futures.
