Hello everyone, The Society for Social Studies of Science (4S) will have its annual meeting in Honolulu, Hawaii, between November 8th to 11th. The event will be hybrid. Our panel on the circulation of future thinking takes inspiration from the territory of the event and the epicenter of future studies, thinking, and intuitions in the Pacific. We invite you to share your work on future images circulating, scales of imagination, applied, speculative, and/or conceptual work. Please, feel free to consider participating. You can submit until May 26th your abstract (300 words). You can also participate in the multiple activities that 4S and local collaborators are organizing in preparation for this meeting. You can submit through here: https://www.4sonline.org/call_for_submissions.php <https://www.4sonline.org/call_for_submissions.php> *138. Flowing Futures: Ancestral, Mundane and Global Circulations on the Scales of Imagination* Martin Perez Comisso, SFIS - Arizona State University; Dayna Jeffrey, York University; Hawaií has been an epicenter of future-making since ancestral times: The temporalities of living on an island (Kuga, n/d), sustainable intergenerational practices (Chirico & Farley, 2015), narratives informed by indigenous futurisms (Amos, 2016), and the forward-thinking Hawaii Research Center of Futures Studies, which had pioneered the field and methods of future studies for many decades (Dator, 1998). The latter is also where Experiential Futures (XF) emerged over a decade ago (Candy, 2010), a practice that formalizes the connections between foresight and design in vivid and immersive ways (Candy and Kornet, 2019). As STS continues approaching the impacts of future thinking and anticipatory knowledge critically (Konrad et al. l, 2016), we would like to dedicate this panel to projects analyzing futures in movements spread through air, land, and sea, or humans, animals, media, etc. In this panel, we invite those working and thinking about circulation and scales of future knowledge -imaginaries, narratives, expectations, and visions-to dive into the concepts, strategies, and events that investigate the trajectories of technoscience in future. We aim to share and discuss futures moving through scales and fluxes of imagination, enduring infrastructures and/or fictitious worlds. The increasing research in STS on popular and mediatic techno visions such as the fourth industrial revolution, transhumanism, or metaverse are particularly welcome to land (physically and intellectually) in the continuous conversations around decentering and contesting images of the future (Pérez Comisso and Jeffrey, 2023 <https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/19467567231164460>) combining the wisdom of STS and the generativeness of futures studies in this session.
