During October 2017 I am:

Basics of visual arts and creative thinking and being for kids and adults – at Places We Love, Toscana, Italy, October 21-28, 2017.

ORGANIZING:

A workshop on linking the time awareness, future thinking and sustainability across disciplines: Futurization of thinking and behavior as a fine balancing act. Time Perspective Network, Copenhagen, Denmark, October 18, 2017.

General Assembly and a follow-up Executive Board meeting for the Time Perspective Network.

Researching:

Collaborating with Marc Wittmann: exploring the role time orientation plays on pro-environmental behaviour and sustainability.

Collaborating with Elisabeth Schilling (Hanover, Germany) and Tianna Loose (Nantes, France): exploring the administrated biographies and when the image of the future becomes present and past.

How do I manage all of the above and a few things that were left out? I love working with my version of the bullet journal and I also follow my own medicine regarding taking the creative breaks.

I am available for giving workshops on how to deal with culture shock and using creativity as a resource. I would be thrilled to develop a tailored talk / workshop regarding time, creativity and your field of interest.

Best ways to keep up with my progress and stay in touch with me:

Time perspective across cultures and across time -research projects updates

These days besides my activities linked to organizing our Network’s next meeting in Copenhagen this August: Celebrating Time, which will run from 15 to 19 August, I’m also working on finalizing two research projects that we started some time ago.

We are still working with Evgeny Osin on figuring out how to make sense out of the data we have from 33 countries using the ZTPI measure. As always with these type of convenience data sets, some things work and some other don’t. But we are making some progress and we hope to finalize the study during our open data lab session during the conference. So if you’re interested in learning how to deal with such data sets, or you have some good advice – you’re more than welcome to drop by. Check out the program of the conference to know when the session will be scheduled.

And as earlier announced in our Network updates – Aleksandra Kostic is editing a new book with current research in time perspective field. Britt Wiberg, me, Grazia Carelli and Marie Wiberg are working on a chapter for that book: Developing empirical profile of the balanced time perspective (BTP) and exploring its stability over time. It has been a very interesting and insightful project involving case studies and a lot of work! Aleksandra has set up a deadline for us – May 25th, so we are doing our best to meet it.
