| Event Name: | Off-world living micro-analogues |
| Event Description: | This project is an exploration of the “micro-analogue” created principally for off-world living and thriving. Some examples of micro-analogues are medical equipment, mood diaries, musical instruments, or a climbing wall for Mars. There are two philosophical motivations – 1. To enable a range of social and other scientists, together with the wider public, to appreciate the challenges faced when humans consider or are required to live under environmental conditions substantially outside any standard frame of reference. Whilst initially surviving is a first priority, to live and ultimately thrive in such alien conditions and environments requires substantial alteration in many areas, from setting expectations to use of resources. 2. To understand that the science of cultivating wellbeing and living conditions in off- Earth environments offers ripe opportunities to consider how we might thrive and adapt in rapidly changing environments on Earth through processes of climate change, resource limitations and biodiversity reduction. Through exploring what the alternative engagements of living off-world might entail, the project will engage us with analogues to help us think through the various adaptations needed to allow sustainable healthy living on Earth. This project is designed to bring together UCL’s diverse academic community interested in the challenges of future living under very challenging and radically different conditions to those with which we are familiar, including off-world. 9:30 am Registration – coffee, pastries 10:00 – 10:10 – Welcome and Intro - Aaron Parkhurst & Myles Harris Session 1 - Presentations 10:10 – 10:30 – Anna Talvi and Christina Yianni 10:30 – 10:50 – Adryon Kozel 10:50 – 11:10 – David Cullen and Laura Goument 11:10 – 11:30 – Sarah Fortais 11.30 – 11.45 Coffee Break Session 2 - Presentations 11:45 – 12:05 - James Robinson 12:05 – 12:25 - Jane Davies 12:25 – 12:45 - Luis Luque Alvarez and David Green 12:45 – 1:05 - Luke Sawyers LUNCH (55 Minutes) Session 3 - Presentations 2:00 – 2:20 - Simisola Johnson 2:20 – 2:40 - Borja Barbero 2:40 – 3:00 - Marina Barcenilla and Mara Leite 3:00 – 3:15 Coffee Break Session 4 – Workshops 3:15 – 3:30 – Gerald Sim presentation on online exhibitions 3:30 – 4:30 – cluster discussions Break out groups (30 mins) Group feedback (30 mins) – Osnat Katz 4:30 – 5:30 – Deconstructing Thriving 5:30 – Drinks! |
