Invite to be involved in Futurescape City Tours

[Mindy]

Dear HeatSync Labs folks,

I have met a few of you here and there around town, and think this is
right up
your alley. Sorry if it seems like "google group spam."


As researchers with the School of Sustainability and the Center for
Nanotechnology in Society at Arizona State University, we need your
help in
recruiting people to participate in an exciting study.

As technologies rapidly transform our bodies, our relationships, our
possessions, and the very landscapes in which we live, we should ask:
What
kinds of societies, cities, homes – even people – will they shape?
Most
importantly – how do we get the futures we want?

We are conducting research into novel ways to engage the public in
thinking
about technology and the city. The purpose of the Futurescape City
Tours is
to test out a new method of public deliberation that involves a
walking
tour, photography and connecting citizens with the people and places
making
new technologies.

We would like your help to recruit participants for this pilot study.
We have a
flier prepared that would be easy to share or handout (the text from
the flier
is at the bottom of this message, and you can e-mail us at
futurescape
(at) asu.edu for a copy of the flier). Please encourage folks to apply
to participate by filling out the application at:

If you have any questions or concerns, please let us know by writing
to
futurescape (at) asu.edu

Thank you in advance for your help!
