  • Summary

  • We begin this series with Professor Simone Abram, who makes the case for why anthropology is here to help when it comes to thinking about the future. We hear all about her research exploring how engineers, economists, scientists and other energy system designers shape the technologies we can expect to see in our lives in the coming years. This work means imagining different versions of tomorrow all the time – and shows us that working together is the only positive way forward.

    In this episode, Simone refers to a book called Energy Futures, written by a collective of anthropologists around the world, packed with case studies on energy worlds of the future.
