“…While the book is written from a cognitive and psychological perspective—interspersed with research from anthropology, linguistics, and so forth—the content should appeal to practitioners of Foresight as it provides a deeper understanding of the underlying mechanisms that allow us to consider and plan for the future in the first place, which is known as episodic future thinking (Atance & O'Neill, 2001). The book ties in with a small but growing body of literature on the connection between the cognitive sciences and Foresight, and how Foresight practices can be improved through greater knowledge of cognitive processes such as episodic memory and future thinking (McKiernan, 2017; Rhemann, 2019), as well as cognitive heuristics and biases (Schirrmeister et al, 2020). Understanding how our minds process time and imagine the future could allow for methodological developments in Foresight processes and potentially add perspectives to futures literacy.…”

“…For example, cognitive science is currently exploring the underlying neural mechanisms affecting cognitive heuristics and biases, which improves future scenario building (Schirrmeister et al, 2020). Approaches are proposed which allow one to overcome limited rationality, embrace a wide variety of complex, nonobvious cause-and-effect relationships, and so on (McKiernan, 2017;Rhemann, 2019).…”

This study aimed to investigate the impact of open data implementation as part of data governance initiatives on entrepreneurial attitudes in Europe and Central Asia. Such has never been determined or investigated in a measurable form. Using regression (OLS) analysis of secondary data on the open data implementation index from the Open Data Barometer (ODB) and the Entrepreneurial Attitude index from GEI, this study investigates the impact of open data implementation (as a national data governance strategy) on entrepreneurial attitudes in Europe and Central Asia. This study introduces a novel approach that advances our understanding of sustainable development goals. The study establishes a causation of the 32% impact of open data implementation on entrepreneurship attitudes toward recognizing opportunities in Europe and Central Asia.This study advocates for the establishment of a comprehensive national open data initiative as a catalyst for fostering entrepreneurial attitudes within Europe and Central Asia. Moreover, it emphasizes the importance for entrepreneurs to cultivate the necessary attitudes for achieving their business objectives successfully. The study recommends further investigation using a recent dataset. The study's findings improve the understanding of how to induce entrepreneurial attitudes in Europe and Central Asia in pursuit of post-pandemic economic development.

“…However, if the semantic memory is oriented around constraints or trauma (time, money, pain, rejection, ACEs, etc.) these can hinder the creation of certain future possibilities (Rhemann, 2019). Thus, when engaging with futures thinking, our brain will import past memories as a reference point (Mullally and Maguire, 2014).…”

Purpose The purpose of this study is threefold: to pilot research on the role that trauma-healing and resilience play in developing futures consciousness/literacy; to explore how this informs the coloniality of sexuality; and to engage economically marginalised young gay and bisexual men in exploring future scenarios for the wider LGBTQI+ community in Kenya. Design/methodology/approach This study used participatory action research to pilot the study. Workshop sessions focused on exploratory futures using an integral futures framework. Futures tools used consisted of the futures triangle, polak game and a two-by-two matrix scenario building exercise. Findings Participants found that previous psychosocial support and mental health counselling enabled them to address past traumas, find healing and begin a productive journey of unpacking their understanding of agency and engage with developing personal and communal futures thinking – all prerequisites for effectively addressing decoloniality. Originality/value This research represents the only study of the four-way intersection of trauma-healing, futures consciousness/literacy, the queer community in Africa and decoloniality and coloniality of sexuality.
