The Shape of Things to Come. An Interview with Lindsay Holmgren
Abstract
In this “Shape of Things to Come”-interview, Lindsay Holmgren highlights the role of narrative in generating and imparting knowledge. She speaks about a long-term interdisciplinary research project which investigates how young adults make sense of global challenges like climate change, war, or global pandemics through narrative. How, she asks, can narratives uncover the ways in which such experiences influence the life of this generation of young people?
