UCL Talking Heads asked me to answer some questions about student life and teaching at the university. In this film, I answer the question, “if you could travel by time machine where would you go and why?”
In UCL Department of Science and Technology Studies (STS), we call this type of question an “imaginary”. That’s an analytical concept to focus our attention on the ways we think about the past and the future while we dissect the social, cultural, political, and economic assumptions that go into them. Different people think of past and future is different ways.
