Episode notes

Join me as I sit down with Dr Kwamou Eva Feukeu, Head of the Africa Centre of Expertise and co-runs the Decolonial Comparative Law project at Max Planck Institute for Comparative Private International Law (Germany). We discuss her chapter, Reframing and Futures Literacy: Tackling the Poverty of the Modern Imagination, in our newest book, Improving and Enhancing Scenario Planning: Futures Thinking volume, published by Edward Elgar Publishing. We look at what reality is and can be, for the many as well as for the few; the future of technological evolutions and where our views bias towards.
