Anthropology of the Future, Spring Quarter 2021

This is the space of a future. In 100 years, University of Chicago students in 2121 will open a time capsule from University of Chicago students in 2021. Here we will document the messages and media.

Follow the posts to see what each of 6 student teams did, and how they narrated their experiences. I am moved by them, and proud of what they accomplished. We made it! I mean that in all the ways.

Wonder is a marvelous human capacity. What will our descendants will think about our efforts here to capture the personal and mundane ripples of a world-changing year?
