The release of new U.S. census data led many pundits to opine about what demographic changes mean for the future of the country. But, as Joshua P. Starr explains, educators have been watching their classrooms and schools become less white for many years. What’s important now is not the change itself but how we interpret the change. The stories people tell about past and present changes can affect their response to that change. Leaders who encounter resistance as they propose new equity initiatives can benefit from listening to the stories of those who are wary to try to understand the reason for their resistance.

This article reports on a project that asked pre-service teachers to use science fictional and speculative storytelling to imagine the future of education. I explore the importance of making space for narrativizing and imagining educational and societal change with pre-service teachers, who are forming their pedagogical identities and perspectives, within the context of the current COVID-19 global pandemic. Various narrative approaches to future educational and pedagogical possibility are examined through thematic analysis of pre-service teachers’ future-based stories. This article signals the importance of using speculative storytelling to dismantle singular notions of what education might look like and the role that education might play in a changing society, particularly in the context of citizenship, community, and collective responsibility.

This chapter examines the future that small communities may—or may not—hold for the next generation. As residents nearly always see it, young people who grow up in small towns should go to college in order to be well prepared for whatever the future may hold. However, the reasons given along with the concerns underlying these reasons are more complex than surveys and census data reveal. Although they consider higher education critical, residents—parents and educators alike—acknowledge that there are aspects of small-town culture that make it difficult for young people to plan appropriately in order to make the most of college or university training. The chapter considers the importance of college for future planning among young people, as well as the disadvantages of living in a small town, and how community ties remain among residents.

Federal Data

An important factor in the government's ability to collect data from individuals and businesses is the promise that their information will be kept private. Given the explosion of other data increasingly available in electronic form, however, there is a growing risk that the subjects of federal data collections could be re-identified and their privacy thereby compromised. This implies that current modes for disseminating information based on survey and census data will need to be rethought. While the broad outlines for a new system seem relatively clear, important practical questions about its implementation will need to be addressed.

In June 1985, a fortnight's discussions on ‘The Theatre in the Future’ were held as part of the Fools' Festival in Copenhagen. The seminars discussed the position of theatre and its possibilities in a rapidly changing society, often from deeply opposed positions – socially engaged versus wildly avant-garde, verbal versus imagistic, anthropological versus robotic, and so on. Participants were an exciting mix of professional performers of many kinds, plus theatre critics and ‘ordinary’ engaged people, who for two weeks exchanged experiences and visions of theatre in conjunction with other art forms, and with science and politics. The manifesto below was the contribution to these seminars of John Andreasen, a veteran of ‘sixties happenings, who has subsequently concentrated on street and environmental theatre, and for the past twelve years has taught and directed in the Drama Department of the University of Aarhus.
