This workshop introduces "Futures Lab" as an innovative participatory method that combines social psychology, futures studies, and utopian studies to explore how people imagine, negotiate, and contest the futures. Focusing on the energy transition, we will explore the moral values and identities guiding what futures are seen as desirable, acceptable, or resistible.

Interview with Professor Mauro Sarrica

Authored by Inês Pastor Oliveira,

We recently hosted Professor Mauro Sarrica at the Centre for a few days. He is a Full Professor of Social Psychology from the Sapienza University of Rome and will soon be joining the University of Padua. Given that his research spans environmental and peace psychology, we organised a roundtable on the social aspects of the energy transition. The following day we had the opportunity to briefly interview him regarding his work on the matter.
