Welcome to Future Takes

FUTUREtakes, a publication of the Center for Transcultural Foresight, Inc., Washington DC, is an independent educational resource serving the intellectually curious, future-minded public at large. It assembles leading foresight thinkers and others from a diversity of nations, cultures, and professions to examine the future, with special emphasis on identifying hidden culture-based assumptions that shape how people live, work, and think.

Many issues of FUTUREtakes are replete with provocative discussion points designed to inspire student and faculty thought, discussion, commentary, articles, and research projects.

To authors, FUTUREtakes offers visibility and exposure across organizations, professions, demographic and socioeconomic groups, cultures, and nations – with the possibility to inspire dialog with readers worldwide and to influence thinking across the globe.
