Anticipatory Assumptions
Session 3
This session introduces anticipatory assumptions and why they matter in sustainable futures thinking. You will learn to identify, question, and creatively challenge assumptions that shape what we see as probable, possible, or desirable in the future. We connect core concepts to practical methods and examine critically how power, privilege, and dominant narratives influence these assumptions.
We also explore anticipatory assumptions can constrain or broaden our imagination, and why developing futures thinking is vital for navigating uncertainty.
