Critical imaginaries of outer space: futures otherwise
You can register for the talk here
Abstract
This presentation offers an overview of critical perspectives and methods that are crafting space futures otherwise. Against the backdrop of ongoing militarization and commercialization of outer
space, it reflects on what might be the urgently needed ethical compasses for how such space futures can be imagined and put into practice at the intersection of climate emergencies and decolonization processes, and across speculative fiction and engaged social
research.
