A Common Ground Media Lab Speaker Series


Common Ground Research Networks sets out to address some of the pivotal challenges of our time, curating research networks that cut horizontally across legacy disciplinary boundaries and knowledge practices. Sustainability, diversity, learning, the future of humanities, the nature of interdisciplinarity, the place of the arts in society, technology's connections with knowledge — these are some of the deeply important questions that we address, all requiring interdisciplinary thinking, global conversations, and cross-institutional intellectual collaborations.

The Common Ground Research Media Lab Speaker Series, Imagining Futures, seeks to offer our Research Network members a place of learning and interaction by introducing in online conversation sessions led by some of the world’s leading researchers, practitioners, artists and civic leaders. Our aim in the Imaging Futures series is to create linkages that cross disciplinary, geographic, and cultural boundaries. In considering our collective futures, we must build strategies for action. Our aim is not just to reflect upon the world, but to nurture a commitment to change it.
