    Special Issue Call for Papers – 7th Annual Asia-Pacific Futures Network (APFN) Conference “Recipes for Change: Co-Creating Post-Pandemic Futures Today”

    In September 2021, we gathered online for the 7th Annual Asia-Pacific Futures Network (APFN) Conference titled “Recipes for Change: Co-Creating Post-Pandemic Futures Today”. The conference focused on fostering the co-creation of equitable, inclusive, and sustainable futures for Asia-Pacific and beyond.

    We tasted many dishes from the full menu ranging from future studies theoretical evolution to actual experiences of using the futures approach in tourism, higher education, the Blue Pacific Continent, fake news, climate change, post-normal pandemics, social media, natural disasters, youths, food, citizens, conflict transformation, the Philippines, and more. We introduced numerous methods and tools for advancing future literacy. They include games, applications, quizzes, and well-designed and well-facilitated open discussions. The conference generated countless interesting new ideas, approaches, and profound reflections about the world, our systems, human nature, and where we are heading.

    We could taste all the above because we all co-produced the menu. All the dishes and recipes were put together by us. And because we were a mix of academics, policymakers, practitioners, early and veteran learners, young and not so young people from all kinds of backgrounds, the dishes were very flavorful, especially when we agreed to disagree and when we discovered new flavors from the interactions. Like all good meals, we all want to have the recipes in writing, in other words, a cookbook!

    We would like to invite you to document the ideas, key points, debates, cases, nuances, methods, reflections, unfinished stories, open-ended enquiries, questions answered and the key discussions. This would capture the conference for a wider audience and further advance the development of our collective recipes.

    The Journal of Futures Studies is hosting the platform for our cookbook. Thus, we are calling for papers for this special issue based on the conference. As you were a contributor to the conference, you are strongly encouraged to put your speech, the session you facilitated, or the presentation you made, into an article for this special issue. As a participant, if you have an exciting idea inspired by APFN, you are also welcome to contribute. Join us in documenting the stories we passionately discussed so that they become the seeds for a brighter and more sustainable future.

     

    Paper submissions can be:

    1. Essays – 2000-3000 words in length (including references). Essays are expected to provide new viewpoints and visions, expressed through strong and intelligent prose.
    2. Reports– 3000-4000 words in length (including references). Reports are expected to provide coverage of future studies related events (conferences, meetings, facilitated processes).
    3. Articles– 4000-7000 words in length (including references). Articles are expected to make novel contributions to the futures studies field, build on the corpus of futures literature, be evidentially strong and develop clear themes and arguments. Articles are double-blind peer-reviewed.
