Keri Facer is Professor of Educational and Social Futures at the University of Bristol (and Zennström Professor of Climate Change Leadership at Uppsala). Much of her work over the past two decades circles a single rich idea she calls the temporal imagination: the way our images of the future shape what we treat as possible in the present.
In this talk she brings real depth and rigour to the nature of possibility itself. It sits close to so much of what we care about here — widening the sense of what's possible isn't wishful thinking but a discipline, and this is a generous, unhurried hour with someone who has spent a career practising it.
