EVENT: UWA Albany Skywest Public Lecture

The 21st century presents the greatest challenges and opportunities ever faced by humankind. Massive changes are expected in technology, economies, ecologies, human values and wellbeing. How do we understand and prepare for such changes; this is the stuff of Education for World Futures. Professor Neville Bruce, Centre for Integrated Human Studies, will briefly examine past and present conditions of humanity and explore some of the new technologies that could affect not just human wellbeing, but the very meaning of human life and the stability of the world we live in. Possible future scenarios will be considered as will actions at a personal, regional and global level.
