Worldbuilding and Radical Worldmaking 

Join the Taft Research Center for our 2024/25 thematic programming series where we host distinguished visiting scholars, artists, activists, and makers, alongside our own faculty and students, to develop techniques to anchor, imagine, and speculate about new worlds while transforming our own. What are the horizons of radical worldmaking? How can we use methods, practices, and ways of knowing from the humanities and social sciences to extend them?
