Journal Descriptions

Possibility Studies and Society publishes theoretical inquiries, empirical research and practical applications into human and social possibilities and impossibilities, considered in psychological, material, technological, cultural, and political terms. Its main themes are creativity, imagination, innovation, agency, improvisation, serendipity, wonder, counterfactual thinking, pretend play, the future, anticipation, utopia / dystopia and social and technological change. However, all submissions that reflect on the antecedents, processes, and consequences of exploring, expanding or constraining possibilities for individuals, communities and society will be considered. Possibility Studies and Society is interdisciplinary in nature and welcomes contributions from psychologists, philosophers, sociologists, anthropologists, educators, designers, engineers, arts and creative industries specialists, as well as anyone with an interest in psychological, social, technological, cultural and political possibilities as they play out at an individual, group and societal level.
