Futures Fellow
2024
"Reimagining the future for prosperity across the life course" The nation’s evolving human-capital needs will oblige our society to support longer working lives, multiple career transitions, and continual renewal of skills. Yet the basic institutional architectures of schooling, work and family that we inherit from the twentieth century remain organized on the notion that education and learning trail off with the end of childhood. This is a significant disservice to the quality of individual lives and the nation’s economic and civic vitality. The Stanford Center on Longevity has appointed a group of Future Fellows to convene and develop a framework for building education and learning opportunities, enabling people to navigate change and prosper throughout their adult lives. This is a joint venture of Stanford’s Center on Longevity and Center for Advanced Research in the Behavioral Sciences. The Project assembles a plurality of talent from academia, venture capital, philanthropy and the civil sector to imagine a new ecology for developing human potential across century-long lives. https://longevity.stanford.edu/education-learning/
