“…One exception to this, whilst not a research paper, is a Youtube video created by a service user activist O’Hagan (2013), who imagined a radio interview set in 2042 which describes the repeal of the Mental Health Act. This approach has a lot in common with the Future Studies approach of back casting (Davidson, 2017) and gives concrete examples of how current United Nations human rights documents can shape the future. As often with service user led research, rather than the focus being clinical it is on how society and the state responds to people in distress (Faulkner, 2017).…”

“…Future Studies can encourage students to express constructive hope about controversial social problems such as climate change rather than denying them or feeling passive (Ojala, 2015). There are specific teaching techniques within future studies such as discussion, role play and back casting (identifying a potential desirable future and then working backwards to identify the steps required to reach it) (Davidson, 2017). Gunnarsson-Östling et al (2012) argue that participatory research methods are best suited to developing alternative futures, thus there is a commonality between Future Studies and participatory research methods.…”

“…Gunnarsson-Östling et al (2012) argue that participatory research methods are best suited to developing alternative futures, thus there is a commonality between Future Studies and participatory research methods. Both seek to transition students or research participants from knowledge consumers to knowledge creators (Davidson, 2017).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the value of utilising future studies to explore citizenship for people with mental health challenges. Design/methodology/approach This paper critiques the discipline of future studies and considers it in the context of the citizenship and mental health literature. It explores how future studies can be utilised to promote marginalised voices, such as those of people with mental health challenges. Findings Technology is leading to rapid change in society including what it means to be a citizen (Isin and Nielsen, 2008; Isin and Ruppert, 2015). Whilst citizenship has been promoted within mental health for a long time, change has been slow (Rowe and Davidson, 2016). In order to create inclusive opportunities for people with mental health challenges, any focus on citizenship in mental health needs to not only address the present time but to anticipate and influence future technological directions. Originality/value This paper is original in bringing together mental health and the future impact on society of new technologies. It stands to offer a new perspective to discussions on citizenship.

“…One of the effective factors on managers' empowerment is future research based on which the future is not a repetition of the past and today it is not possible to predict future changes with traditional methods (Heidari & et al, 2005). In recent decades, emphasis has been placed on knowing the future in the form of futures research, which means predicting and visualizing probable rather than definite futures by analyzing current resources, conditions, and planning and planning to prepare for them (Davidson, 2017). The future of science and art research is the discovery of the future and the formation of a desirable world and a systematic tool for evaluating scientific and technological developments that can have a major impact on education, industry, health and quality of life (Rasul & et al, 2010).…”

The present study was conducted aimed to presenting model of empowerment elementary period managers based on components of futurology. Methodology: This study was applied in terms of purpose and combined (qualitative and quantitative) in terms of implementation method. The research population in the qualitative section was the specialists and experts of Tehran city and in the quantitative section were the primary school managers of Tehran city in the academic years of 2019-20. The research sample in the qualitative section was 12 people who were selected according to the principle of theoretical saturation by purposive and snowball sampling methods and in the quantitative section was 270 people who were selected according to the Krejcie and Morgan table by multi-stage cluster sampling method. Data were collected by methods of take noting, semi-structured interviews and researcher-made questionnaire whose face and structure validity of questionnaire were confirmed and its reliability was obtained by Cronbach's alpha method 0.88. Qualitative data were analyzed by open, axial and selective coding methods and quantitative data were analyzed by structural equation modeling in SPSS-25 and LISREL-8.8 software. Findings: The findings of the qualitative section showed that the model of empowerment elementary period managers based on components of futurology had 6 main categories, 20 sub-categories and 85 indicators. The main categories and subcategories were included transformation management (sufficient cognition of environment, responsibility and organizational health), empowerment (strengthening teachers' careers, applying participatory management and improving relationship between managers and teachers), sense of competence (having the enough motivation, support for managers, flexibility and creative thinking), organizational structure (organizational changes, lack of resources and inadequate distribution and lack of foresight), standardization (applying knowledge management, use of feedback system and modeling) and growth and improvement (foresight, self-efficacy, risk-taking and delegation of authority).The findings of the quantitative section showed that all six main categories had a significant effect on the model of empowerment elementary period managers based on components of futurology and the model had appropriate fitness indicators. Conclusion:Based on the results, the model of empowerment elementary period managers based on components of futurology can have practical implications for education specialists and planners and can be used to improve the structure of education.
