\"TC\"Tim Chatterton<\/strong> is a Senior Research Fellow at the Air Quality Management Resource Centre at the University of the West of England, Bristol.\u00a0 He has spent 20 years working on air pollution, climate change and energy issues at the interface of academia and policy.\u00a0 His work covers both physical and social sciences.
\nEmissions reduction work for both air quality management and climate change mitigation has, in both policy and academic realms, tended to take a largely technocentric view.\u00a0 This often minimises, or even excludes, the role of people and society within both the problems we face and the potential solutions.\u00a0 Tim is currently the social science lead on a major EU Horizon 2020 project, CLAiR-City (www.claircity.eu<\/a>).\u00a0 This project seeks to redefine how air quality management is undertaken through the development of a practice theory informed approach to both emissions modelling and policy development;\u00a0 working with citizens of six cities\/city regions across Europe to help align policy with their expectations and aspirations for their everyday futures.<\/p>\n

\"JE\"Jill Ebrey<\/strong> spent a number of years at the University of Chester as a Senior Lecturer in Media and Film Studies, whilst studying for her PhD (Goldsmiths College) in Sociology. In 2012, she became an Honorary Fellow at the University of Manchester, joining in 2013,the Understanding Everyday Participation \u2013 Articulating Cultural Value (UEP) research project as an Associate Researcher (www.everydayparticipation.org<\/a>).
\nJill is particularly interested in how both theories of everyday life, ethnography and theories of practice can be a part of a research-policy-practice nexus. With Andrew Miles, she has recently been awarded ESRC Impact Accelerator funding, to translate the UEP Aberdeen research into policy and practice. She is particularly interested, therefore, in talking with the group on how discussions about \u2018futures\u2019 can be generated in community settings, since that will be a feature of her forthcoming work in Aberdeen. Her work on the sociology of \u2018the weekend\u2019, has stimulated an additional interest in how utopian moments are created in the mundane everyday.<\/p>\n

\"kekKatherine Ellsworth-Krebs<\/strong> is an assistant researcher based in the Centre for Housing Research at the University of St Andrews, Scotland. She has just submitted her PhD which developed the concept of \u2018home comfort\u2019 in order to understand how \u2018normal\u2019 expectations of home life influence domestic energy demand.
\nShe is particularly interested in building on her PhD in the \u2018Everyday Futures\u2019 workshop by exploring how understanding home comfort as more than thermal comfort raises avenues for further investigation about how \u2018normal life\u2019 and the \u2018good life\u2019 are materialised and made. She is also interested in energy prosumption because increasing microgeneration is often assumed to be a component of future homes, yet there is little research on the experience of living with these altered material arrangements. Overall, she hopes to be part of a discussion around new methodologies (including netnography) and \u2018steering\u2019 future practices to be more sustainable.<\/p>\n

\"DG\"Derek Gatherer<\/strong> is a Lecturer in the Faculty of Health & Medicine at Lancaster University, UK.\u00a0 Previously at the UK Medical Research Council Virology Unit, in 2013, Derek left the government\u2019s employ for academia, where first Ebola, and now Zika, have rudely swept away his original plans to study influenza.
\nDerek is interested in how the future of humanity is shaped by biological events that are both beyond our control, such as emerging pandemic diseases, or which arise from our own activity, such as our capacity to predict future health using genetic testing, or modify the biota using genetic manipulation.\u00a0 He hopes to bring a biologist\u2019s sense of the fragility of human existence, both personal and societal, to discussions of where we are headed. On a slightly less panoramic level, he is also interested in how current issues will affect the shape of health care provision in the medium term.<\/p>\n

\"LH\"Lizzie Harrison<\/strong>\u00a0is currently working as a Research Assistant on Fashion Ecologies\u00a0which explores the relationship between people, garments and place\u00a0at University of Arts London, UK. Lizzie also runs a Sustainable Fashion Design and Manufacturing Lab ‘Antiform’ in Bristol which engages with the public to develop sustainable fashion narratives. Lizzie regularly teaches in the field of sustainable fashion at SustainRCA, Royal College of Art and MA Fashion Futures, London College of Fashion.
\nIn her research and practice Lizzie has engaged with\u00a0the everyday in clothing as seen through the lens of sustainability futures. She works within fashion design, service design and community development\u00a0engaging with the practices of using clothes.\u00a0Such everyday actions while commonplace are largely overlooked within conventional views of fashion.\u00a0Approaches to understand the everyday practices of clothing have included trialing local repair and reuse services, creating experiential events, testing design interventions, running skills and resource sharing workshops, mapping local clothing journeys and auditing clothing within the home.\u00a0\u00a0She is currently co-editing a book of methods within the wardrobe and joining the workshop in Lancaster would be a unique opportunity to share\u00a0methodologies that explore the everyday in order to address sustainability futures.<\/p>\n

\"MtK\"Margit Keller<\/strong> is a senior researcher of communication and sociology of consumption at the Institute of Social Studies, University of Tartu, Estonia. She has a PhD in Media and Communications. She is also the coordinator of the Research Network of Sociology of Consumption at the European Sociological Association.
\nHer research relates to interventions into everyday practices by institutional programmes seeking to fast-track movement towards more sustainable, healthy etc. futures. The main inspiration comes from social practice theory with an interest in\u00a0internal organisation of everyday practices and in what sorts of relationships can emerge between (institutional) change agents and coordinating agents of everyday practices. In the network she also hopes to work more with issues related to communication and social practices, e.g.\u00a0\u00a0how interveners and consumers \u00a0position themselves as practitioners in relation to “intervening” (social) media content and what is the potential of such change oriented communication to accelerate transformation into envisaged futures.<\/p>\n

\"MK\"Matthijs Kouw<\/strong> is a researcher at the Rathenau Instituut in The Hague (The Netherlands), where he works on technology assessment of \u2018smart\u2019 innovations and data. Previously, Matthijs was employed as a post-doctoral researcher at PBL Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency. Matthijs obtained his PhD in Science and Technology Studies at Maastricht University.
\nEveryday life is increasingly permeated by \u2018smart\u2019 technologies, which establish a more and more data-driven society. In order to counter the techno-optimism that often accompanies smart technologies, agendas underlying the implementation of such technologies need to be rendered explicit. \u00a0This calls for recalibrations of civic engagement, governance, and epistemologies used to study the impact of technology on everyday life. Drawing on Science and Technology Studies, research on future everyday life can articulate the agendas underlying smart technologies and their ramifications, and thereby equip policymakers and the general public with a view of smartness that prepares them for the near future.<\/p>\n

\"LennekeLenneke Kuijer<\/strong> is an assistant professor based in Industrial Design at Eindhoven University of Technology, The Netherlands. She has previously worked at Delft University of Technology, where she obtained her PhD degree in Industrial Design, and as part of the DEMAND Centre at the Geography Department of the University of Sheffield.
\nIn her research she has engaged with everyday futures from the perspective of consumer product design, interaction design, housing design, domestic energy consumption and historic change. In this work she has drawn on design theory, social practice theory and philosophy of technology, and used various ethnographic and research through design methodologies. Together with the other members in the network she hopes to gain further understanding of how everyday futures are made in various realms of society and to develop new methodologies that are better capable of understanding and addressing issues of inequality and sustainability in everyday life.<\/p>\n

\"AM\"Angella Mackey<\/strong> has been specializing in wearable-technology experience design for a decade in art, research and commercial contexts. She has designed functional garments in a wide range of industries, from medical to space flight, and lectures on the design challenges of wearable electronics.She is currently pursuing a PhD with the Department of Industrial Design at Eindhoven University of Technology and Philips Lighting in the Netherlands.
\nConcepts and proto types for wearable technologies and smart garments have been growing stronger alongside innovations for smart textiles. How might smart functionalities embedded in our clothing disrupt fashion systems and daily usage patterns of clothes? Mackey’s research focuses on explorations of current everyday experiences of clothing as a means of experimenting within, speculating upon and gaining insight into future smart garment systems, with the goal of informing design processes that seek to combine these technologies with clothing.<\/p>\n

\"gm\"Giuliana Mandich<\/strong> is a full professor of Sociology at the University of Cagliari (Italy).\u00a0She has completed her postgraduate studies at EHESS (Paris), Essex (UK) and she has been Fulbright visiting scholar at Harvard (USA). She is the coordinator of the research network EVERYDAY LIFE of the Italian Sociological Association (http:\/\/www.ais-sociologia.it\/sezioni\/vq\/vita-quotidiana<\/a>) for the next three years.
\nShe is currently working on youth narratives of the future within Appadurai\u2019s concept of capacity to aspire frame. In her research she has engaged with everyday futures from a theoretical point of view, developing the idea that the fabric of the future is culturally produced in everyday life within different pragmatic regimes (Th\u00e9venot). She is interested in discussing with the other members in the network how different figures of action in everyday life\u00a0imply\u00a0different forms of anticipation.<\/p>\n

\"EM\"Enrico Marcore<\/strong> is a PhD candidate for the Anthropology Department in the University of Aberdeen, U.K. He is a graduate of the University of Rome \u201cLa Sapienza\u201d, and he obtained a Masters Degree in the \u201cAutonoma\u201d University of Barcelona. He has also worked as consultant for Applied Anthropology.
\nEnrico is currently fellow in the E.R.C. funded project \u201cKnowing from the Inside\u201d based in Aberdeen. The project aims to investigate fruitful relations among disciplines including \u201cAnthropology, Art, Architecture and Design\u201d. His own subproject considers the common field that Anthropology and Architecture could possibly share as disciplines and practices. His present thesis is focused on the production of everyday futures during the reconstruction period, after the earthquake that hit L\u2019Aquila (Central Italy) in 2009. In the \u201cE.F. Network\u201d he wants to find new collaborative ways to further explore the production of sustainability through daily building and dwelling experiences.<\/p>\n

\"Maureen\"Maureen Meadows<\/strong> is Senior Lecturer in Management, Open University Business School. From September 2016 Maureen will be Professor of Strategic Management at Coventry University. Maureen will be in a research role in the Centre for Business in Society. The Centre\u2019s research focuses on organisational practices and the management of corporate responsibilities.
\nMaureen’s research focuses on the use of strategy tools, such as visioning and scenario planning. She has explored the relationship between scenario planning (typically externally focussed) and visioning (typically more internally focussed), and proposed enhancements to existing visioning methodologies. She has explored the practice of visioning in different sectors including financial services and utilities. Maureen has researched the development of a participative visioning methodology, Visioning Choices; explored the role of cognitive style of participants in strategy development exercises; and studied the need to \u201corient\u201d participants in scenario planning exercises in scenarios that they may not have been involved in developing.<\/p>\n

\"IM\"Isabelle Garabuau-Moussaoui<\/strong> has been working as a social sciences researcher at EDF (Electricit\u00e9 de France) R&D since 2003. She is specialised in the socio-anthropology of consumption and energy-related practices of households and of employees in companies. Until last year, she collaborated with the DEMAND centre (University of Lancaster).
\nShe is piloting a project, the \u201cTrends Lab\u201d, that assumes that innovations are not (only) technologic and that methods to explore trends, innovations, transitions and future(s) have to be interdisciplinary and exploratory. The project is exploring new ways of thinking and working in order to cross social, cultural and demographic trends with transitions in politics and policy, technology and infrastructures, environment and climate.
\nThe workshop is an opportunity to discuss the process that the “Trends Lab” is developing and also to collectively develop new insights and initiatives (an international network to explore social innovations, for instance?) or to explore methods, as the \u201cwhat if\u201d history, the design thinking, the relationship between fiction and social sciences, etc.<\/p>\n

Georgia Newmarch<\/strong> is a doctoral researcher at Lancaster University\u2019s Institute for Social Futures. She has an MA(RCA) in History of Design from the Royal College of Art\/Victoria and Albert Museum.
\nHer current research engages with everyday futures through electrical blackouts and power failure in Britain, using historical, present and anticipating future scenarios. Building on her previous research about cultures surrounding coal and the design of industrial action, she considers the implications that disruption has on everyday lives by combining many different elements and disciplinary perspectives, such as social history, sociology and design theory. By approaching concepts such as boundaries between objects, the environment, energy, human bodies, human relations and human action she hopes to develop new approaches to technology, innovation and resilience.<\/p>\n

\"IP\"Ida Nilstad Pettersen<\/strong> is an associate professor at the Department of Product Design of the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, NTNU, in Trondheim, Norway. She holds a PhD degree in industrial design engineering from the same university, specialising in ecological design.
\nHer research is concerned with everyday futures as it addresses the role of design in fostering change in the everyday practices of citizens and professionals. She has explored this issue drawing on design and social practice theory, and through case studies on design activity in industry, selected household practices, energy management and use in non-residential buildings, and the transformation of public health and care services. A current research interest is sustainable urban development. In the network, she hopes to learn and develop new ideas about how everyday futures are and can be collectively constructed.<\/p>\n

\"CP\"Colin Pooley<\/strong> is an Emeritus Professor of Social and Historical Geography in the Environment Centre, Lancaster University, UK. He has published widely on aspects of migration, mobility, transport, housing and ethnicity in Britain and Europe in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
\nHis current research is using life writing produced in nineteenth and twentieth century Britain to examine everyday mobility in both urban and rural areas. Previously he has collected oral histories of the everyday travel of children and adults in twentieth century Britain. In\u00a0his research\u00a0he tries to link historical analysis to present day policies and he has recently co-edited a book that links transport history to current transport policy.\u00a0He believes that policies designed to shape the future of society can benefit from being informed by past experience, and that examination of past mobilities has relevance for current and future transport policy and planning.<\/p>\n

\"\"Nicola Spurling<\/strong> is a Lecturer in the Institute for Social Futures and the Sociology Department at Lancaster University. She previously worked in the DEMAND Centre, Lancaster University and the Sustainable Practices Research Group, Manchester University.
\nHer interest in everyday futures stems from previous work on changes in working and everyday lives and mobility in the twentieth century. She has undertaken oral histories, archive work and policy analysis to explore the relations between institutions, infrastructures, policy and social change. Her recent work explores how parking space was made and how it might be unmade. In current projects she is bringing together futures methods with studies of social practice. This includes an interest in ‘utopia as method’ (Levitas), in the anticipations of future daily life in transport\/ urban planning, and in disruptions as opportunities to prepare for and imagine futures.<\/p>\n

\"TT\"As of July the first 2014, Tjerk Timan<\/strong> works as a Postdoc researcher on surveillance and privacy in the VICI project of prof. Bert-Jaap Koops, Tillburg University. He defended his PhD thesis at the University of Twente in 2013, in the field of Science-and Technology Studies.
\nEveryday futures play a role in his research in the form of CTA – and value-sensitive design methods, in which different stakeholders together develop possible value-driven paths for a technology to develop into. In his works, he is drawing on experience in co-design and CTA methods. From the workshop, he hopes to gain insights into what everyday futures consist of and which methods other scholars apply to grasp them. He wants to learn about how to draw from everyday experiences and how to trigger new ones, especially in relation to privacy and surveillance questions in novel ICTs.<\/p>\n

\"msw\"Matt Watson<\/strong> is a Senior Lecturer in Human Geography at the University of Sheffield, UK. He was previously a researcher at Durham University, after completing a PhD in the Centre for Science Studies at Lancaster University.
\nMatt\u2019s research engages everyday futures by seeking to understand the systemic relations between everyday practices, technologies, spaces and institutions to advance understandings of social change in relation to sustainability. Empirically, this work has encompassed energy, food, waste, and personal mobility. Current research focuses on relating infrastructural change to energy demand, and understanding the energy-food-water nexus in relation to consumption.<\/p>\n

\"DW\"Dan Welch<\/strong> is a Research Associate at the Sustainable Consumption Institute, University of Manchester, where he obtained a PhD in Sociology, looking at the professional field of sustainability communications. He was previously a researcher with the Sustainable Practices Research Group.
\nDan\u2019s work has primarily focused on novel articulations of theories of practice for the study of sustainable consumption. Projects of sustainable consumption, whether at the level of policy or of personal ethical commitments, inherently involve imaginaries of everyday futures. Dan is interested to explore how teleology and emotion are bound together in practices oriented towards imagined futures of everyday consumption, and how \u2018futures\u2019 expertise (such as foresight and horizon scanning practices) helps construct such imagined futures.<\/p>\n

\"RW\"Rebecca Wright<\/strong> completed her PhD at Birkbeck College, University of London in 2016, where she worked on energy in early-twentieth century American thought. Between 2014-15 she was a Research Fellow on the AHRC collaborative project \u201cMaterial Cultures of Energy: Transitions, Disruptions and Everyday Life in the Twentieth Century\u201d.
\nHer interest in everyday futures emerged from her work on the AHRC collaborative project \u2018Material Cultures of Energy\u2019, where she led the research strand on \u2018Energy Futures\u2019. As part of this project, her research focussed on the shifting position assigned to households, end-users and demand in energy forecasts across the twentieth century. It explored the impact that changing models of expertise, political ideologies, social actors, institutional frameworks, and cultural norms of consumption had on forecasts and the social spaces into which they fed. She will continue to explore the social life of energy futures as part of the everyday futures network, focussing, in particular, on the disciplinary, institutional and\u00a0political factors that structure individual and collective futures.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
