Cultivating the Possible: Reimagining Education and Society / 3rd International Conference of Possibility Studies, All Hallows Campus, Dublin City University, Dublin, July 17–21, 2023.

The 3rd International Conference of Possibility Studies brought together participants from around the world to explore how individuals and societies can imagine and engage with possibilities. The conference focused on questions such as the resources and processes that enable engagement with the possible, the relationship between individual and societal exploration of possibilities, and the role of power relations in shaping our imagination of what is possible. The conference emphasized the importance of multidisciplinary perspectives and pedagogies of the possible in addressing global challenges and fostering creativity and transformation. The text also discusses the need for transformational creativity in the face of rising authoritarianism and the post-truth era, challenges the Western concept of creativity as individualistic, and highlights the power of literature and narratives in shaping our understanding of what is possible. It concludes by advocating for interdisciplinary dialogue, collaboration, and the inclusion of diverse voices and perspectives in academic narratives. [Extracted from the article]
