Now on display in Sawyer Library’s Lipmann Atrium, this exhibit shares work from students in REL/STS 219 who explored pragmatic realizations of radical hope, articulating bold visions for emancipatory communities of the future. Working in small teams, students engaged in radical thought experiments, constructing and refining ideas of better possible societies/political communities. On view in the display, each group shares a policy paper, addressing how their utopian societies would deal with real world issues, as well as artifacts that might appear in these futures.
Sponsored by the Gaudino Fund, Realizing Utopias (REL/STS 219) is part of Professor Jason Ānanda Josephson Storm’s Gaudino project ‘Aspiring toward Utopia in a Dystopian Age’
