Hackathon: Transitionism: Towards a New Utopia? Dominic Pates & Julian Bream, City, University of London |
The aim of this session is for delegates to leave feeling that they can do something towards making a better world. We will look to achieve that via a series of discussion and reflection activities – small group, paired, individual – framed via the notion of transitionism. We hope that you will leave the session feeling empowered and inspired. Perhaps in 2023, you can come back and tell us what you did. | The promise of current and emerging technologies in shaping the university of the future |
