I highly recommend educational literature from circa 1895 to the present day, which has always been trying to create the future! I esp recommend examining Edward Bellamy's 1888 Looking Backward & response to it. This critical review might be a good start: http://www.quebecoislibre.org/11/111015-5.html …
The psychology of the future. I have a colleague prepping a new course about this; he's seeking recommendations for research papers about how people think about the near & distant future, from forecasting to discounting to existential risks. Any good suggestions?pic.twitter.com/PEPv1BeyF8

This bibliography I compiled might be useful: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1s_bc9e-vGf7N2gixcoAeniMegYwgojE87eNIvsHljeo …. There’s some relevant work on psychology of climate change (Clayton et al 2015, Gifford & Nilsson 2014). Would also suggest including something on construal level theory (e.g. Liberman & Trope 2008, T&L 2003).

Also: definitely want to see the syllabus once it’s done!
