This project emerged in January 2007 after discussions at the AusForesight 2006 conference about practitioner standards and communication/media strategies. Its provisional aims are to:
• Provide information on Futures Studies & Strategic Foresight for a pragmatic audience in a salon-type format similar to John Brockman's Edge and the popular blog/zine BoingBoing.
• Document how a Strategic Foresight community of practice (initially comprised of alumnus from Swinburne University's MSSF program) engages in researcher and practitioner work, and to capture their expertise.
• Explore how interviews that use dialogue---such as the practices developed by MIT's Society for Organisational Learning and philosopher of science Paul Feyerabend---can reveal the breadth-depth, integral, meta-disciplinary and different epistemologies/ontologies of Futures Studies & Strategic Foresight.
• Experiment with Web 2.0 technologies such as blogs and podcasts to communicate Futures Studies & Strategic Foresight to a diverse global audience.
