Details

Since the 1980s, Dr Natasha Vita-More has been a thinker, designer, mover, and shaker within what has become the worldwide transhumanist community. She has a unique perspective on how the movement has evolved and the challenges and opportunities it faces. It's her view that transhumanism is particularly relevant in light of ongoing changes in the public perception of technological possibilities, human potential, and accelerating cultural evolution.

Her most recent project is "Transhumanist Studies". As stated on https://transhumanist-studies.teachable.com/

"Transhumanism is an intellectual and cultural movement that supports the ethical use of technology and evidence-based science to improve the human condition.

"This course examines the primary ideas that define the philosophy, emphasizing its views on human evolution, social change, emerging technologies, longevity sciences, healthy ecology, and the future potential of humanity. Our portfolio of knowledge includes learning about transhumanist research that reaches across science, technology, philosophy, ethics and the arts, to develop a practical approach responsive to our changing understanding of ourselves and the world."

In this London Futurists webinar, Natasha will be sharing her views on the need for Transhumanist Studies, the course material that's already available, the roadmap for new courses, and how people can become involved in this important project. She'll also be answering audience questions on the past, present, and future of transhumanism.
