Write for the Sustainable Futures Lab

We envision the Sustainable Futures Lab blog as a space for thinking in public. We will feature short-form writing that sits between scholarship, practice, and reflection – rigorous but readable pieces that invite curiosity, critical imagination, and dialogue around sustainable futures.

We aim to publish concise contributions rather than long-form articles. Posts typically range from 800–1,200 words and are written for a broad, interdisciplinary audience. Clear language, strong framing, and a focused idea are valued more than exhaustive coverage. Citations are welcome where helpful, but posts should remain accessible to non-specialist readers.

Contributors are encouraged to write in a personal, reflective, or exploratory voice. Pieces may engage with research, design practice, teaching, policy, or lived experience, and can take the form of reflections, provocations, creative works, or research-informed essays. Visuals (images, diagrams, sketches) are welcome when they support the argument or story.

We are currently assembling the first set of posts and establishing the blog’s rhythm. Information on how to propose or submit a piece is available through the Opportunities section of the site. We welcome contributions from all parts of the world — all voices matter and make a difference. We hope you’ll consider sharing yours here. 

New writing will appear here soon – stay tuned!
