At this exploratory stage, I am reaching out to assess the landscape of potential contributions. We are particularly interested in work that features:
- A practical-critical methodology applicable for professionals and scholars.
- Global comparative perspectives beyond Western-centric narratives.
- Forward-facing analysis using scenario thinking or policy foresight.
If you have a project to propose, even in a nascent or conceptual stage of development, you are warmly invited to share your idea by February 22, 2026 . Please complete a brief expression of interest form, or reach out to me directly via email at natalia....@lasalle.edu.sg
Please feel free to share this invite for expression of interest among your relevant networks.
Looking forward to hearing from you soon
With kind regards
Natalia
