ENG:
What does being a meta-futurist mean? What other ways approaching the future are there?
In this episode, Marysol Ortega and Sofía Bosch talk to Devon Powers, Associate Professor at Temple University's Klein College of Media and Communication where she researches about consumer culture and how trends may modify our futures. We hope you enjoy our talk with Devon, in which she expands the notion of futures and how we can actually diverge from the hegemonic techno-Utopian futures dominating today's mainstream narratives.
