Description

 This workshop aims to explore the intersections of religion, artificial intelligence, and various conceptualizations of utopian and dystopian futures. Participants will delve into the following key concepts: "utopia," "dystopia," "heterotopia," "cybertopia," "AI," "machine learning," and "algorithms."

Workshop Agenda
1. Theoretical Input
2. Hands-On Exploration
3. Pedagogical Input
4. Creative Exercise
5. Group Discussion and Development of Teaching Ideas
6. Plenary Discussion

Workshop Objectives
  • The primary goal of this workshop is to familiarize teachers with digital '-topias' as imaginative constructs of future societies. These constructs can also serve as heterotopias, which are spaces that exist in opposition to the everyday world. By understanding digital spaces as inherently heterotopian, teachers can explore the potential of digital anthropology within the classroom.
  • Participants will leave the workshop with a deeper understanding of how to integrate digital '-topias' into their curricula, fostering critical thinking and creativity among their students. This workshop will provide a unique opportunity for educators to reimagine their teaching practices in light of emerging digital realities.

Expected Outcomes
1. Enhanced understanding of the interplay between religion, AI, and utopianism.
2. Practical experience with digital '-topias' and their applications in educational contexts.
3. Creative writing skills applied to speculative futures.
4. Concrete teaching strategies and lesson plans incorporating digital anthropology.
5. A collaborative network of educators interested in innovative teaching methodologies.
