This event launches Jonathan White's and Gerard Delanty's new books.

Ideas of the future were central to the making of the modern world and are reshaping today’s societies in an age of emergencies and existential concern.  Two new books look at the enduring significance of the imagined world to come: Jonathan White’s In the Long Run: the Future as a Political Idea (Profile), and Gerard Delanty’s Senses of the Future: Conflicting Ideas of the Future in the World Today (de Gruyter).  This symposium brings together social and political theorists to explore what the future means today, how we got here, and what’s at stake.
