Forming the Future: An Interdisciplinary Conference
(Monday-Tuesday, September 2-3, 2019) Thinking about the future often focuses on its ‘content’: what
might happen. Similarly, thinking about ‘future studies’ often concentrates on its goals, concepts and
methods. But what about the forms in which the future comes couched? How does the medium in
which the future is presented – its genres, structures, conventions – shape or influence what the future
might include? What forms do representations of the future currently take in different disciplines and
fields of practice – from fiction to non-fiction, the visual to the textual, science to politics – and to what
effect? Can we make our representations of the future more efficacious, with a view to the current
world situation? And what might different fields learn from each other, or how might they combine, in
order to do this? The conference will be held at the University of Plymouth, Plymouth, UK. More

GreenBiz Webcast: 5 Steps for Embedding ESG into your Corporate Culture
(Tuesday, September 17, 2019) It is common for sustainability, well-being, social impact and diversity

embeds environmental, social and governance concerns into corporate culture holistically - can bring
significant positive impact resulting in much stronger buy-in. Informed by fresh data from employee
engagement specialist WeSpire, our guest speakers will share best practices and lessons encountered
while bringing an integrated ESG engagement strategy to life within their companies. From 1:00-2:00
p.m. ET (10:00-11:00 a.m. AZ). More information and registration.
