Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Complicating Leadership Development for Business Leaders
Q: Could you walk me through maybe just some of the personal reflection that goes into the development of the course, and what that means in terms of reflexivity?
The host asks about how reflexivity and personal reflection shape the course; the guests explain that reflexivity is collaborative and embedded in the learning process, moving beyond solo reflection to social, relational reflexivity that involves dialogue, shared diaries, and collective sense-making.
Futures anthropology, foresight and the polycrisis
Q: How do you see the relationship between those dynamics of everyday life and the larger institutional structures that shape futures making?
The guest highlights the importance of recognizing structural circumstances, person-to-person collaboration, and the cycles of power, with attention to how knowledge can be mobilized across institutions while respecting longer-term horizons.
Futures anthropology, foresight and the polycrisis
Q: How do you think the research that you do can contribute to that in a context where the power relations are highly uneven in terms of those future making processes?
They argue for collaborative, cross-sector partnerships that leverage social science insights to influence organizations, policy, and wider sites of influence, while remaining aware of organizational limits and the need for iterative engagement.
Futures anthropology, foresight and the polycrisis
Q: Okay. Two questions, I think, out of that, if I may. The first, or maybe an observation and a question.
The guest discusses how complicating dominant narratives and situating analysis in everyday life disrupts determinist techno-utopian projections, and emphasizes the value of practice-based accounts in understanding futures.
Unravelling the Beauty of Mathematics with Marcus du Sautoy
Q: Could we chat about your music as well?
He explains how his love of music intersects with mathematics, noting his work with the RNCM and collaborations that blend artistic and mathematical ideas, including how music can illuminate mathematical structures.
