This week, our ESSA RRS will be part of the ESSA Symposium! Please join us this Friday at WCPH 509. The symposium runs from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., but if you can’t attend the whole day, join us during the ESSA RRS session (10:00–11:30 a.m.). We’ll have a range of interesting and interdisciplinary talks, as well as a panel on futures visioning featuring professors who specialize in that topic. Later in the day, at 3:30 p.m., we’ll host a workshop on giving and receiving feedback; a great opportunity to strengthen this important skill. If you register, you’ll also receive free breakfast and lunch!

We’ll welcome Prof. Adamson, who will be talking about The Matrix and how science fiction can help us explore future visioning. To prepare, we encourage you to watch The Matrix (1999), starring Keanu Reeves. You can rent the DVD for free at the ASU Library or watch it online via Hulu (with a premium subscription). If you’re unable to watch the full movie, you can check out this YouTube summary instead: The Matrix 1 Explained | Full Story Breakdown & Hidden Secrets (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Nkd5TRV8HU). It’s a good overview of the film’s key scenes, but if you have the time and access, we highly recommend watching the full movie. It’s a classic!

Led by Lisley, this seminar will explore the future of knowledge integration for environmental justice, focusing on how the categories of Indigenous Peoples, Local Communities, and Afrodescendant groups are evolving in global environmental governance—especially in the lead-up to COP30 in Belém.

Take some time and rest!

This class  all of you will present your preferable futures. Please check slides 26-28 from Aug 22 presentation as a guide.
