The Future of Governance (ft. Carin Ism)
Carin Ism and Nancy Giordano discuss the future of governance...
We see example after example of how exponential technologies are changing everything, yet our systems of governance are not keeping pace. Cross-pollination between the digital realm and governance design is long overdue, and that's exactly where our latest Femme Futurists Society interviewee comes in. A "power nerd" and co-author of “How to Rule a World—A Guide to the Established and Emerging Tools for Power and Governance in the 21st century" (set to be released at the end of 2020), Carin Ism is fascinated by systems of governance.
An advocate of the solar punk movement - which envisions a future beyond scarcity - she is the co-Founder of the Future of Governance Agency (FOGA) dedicated to seeding innovation and general power literacy. Besides living at 14,000 feet in the Himalayas to develop design principles for space societies, she was also the principal investigator of the first governance study on Mars. (And so many other things on her resume there simply isn't room for!). We got to the end of this interview and were blown away. We hope you are too.

Anthropology of the Future (ft. Lisa Galarneau)
Lisa Galarneau and Nancy Giordano discuss anthropology of the future...
A curiosity-led, polymath and anthropologist, Dr. Lisa Galarneau uses the past to shape the future. Firmly believing that we have the ability right now to shape a thriving existence for all (including the planet), in this conversation with Nancy Giordano she wonders what's stopping us? Lisa posits that, "we must de-condition ourselves from 10,000 years of bad behavior. And, it’s not easy". Her vision? A world that works for everyone. We couldn't agree more.
