Lecturer, Design
Jake Dunagan helps people feel alternative possibilities so they can create better futures. His work as an experiential futurist, political system designer, and professor of foresight centers around the concept of social invention — futures concepts and participatory platforms to help people and organizations around the world re-imagine and re-design their futures.
Jake directs the Governance Futures Lab at the Institute for the Future (IFTF), a non-profit research and education group in Palo Alto, CA. He teaches foresight at the Center for Integrated Design at UT Austin, at the Diseño de Mañana program at CENTRO, a media and design university in Mexico City, and with IFTF’s Foresight Essentials trainings.
