Abstract

This session draws on current scholarship using the concept of ‘possible selves’ to think through the ways that the future enters the higher education classroom. As well as outlining the concept and some empirical uses in higher education, the session will workshop practical applications of the concept in teaching and learning.

The possible selves concept is a way of understanding how the future is part of the fabric of higher education, and the ways in which it makes itself present in students’ lives in multiple and often unequal ways. With a focus on teaching and learning specifically, the session will be useful for those working with higher education students in any capacity.
