The stories which appear here are all based on a personal vision of the future provided by Dr Duncan Russel, lecturer in the politics of climate change and sustainable futures at the University of Exeter. Two of the slides he presented at a previous workshop on 26 March 2010 are available here. In addition, two further slides providing the scenario for all the stories in Tiverton, put together by workshop leader Clare George, are available here.
Each story takes the point of view of a different character and heads off in its own direction. Please note that these stories were each produced in less than an hour! Together, they provide a snapshot of our day’s work, but they are fragmentary and in draft form, and should not be considered as finished articles. My thanks go to all those who took part, and for trusting me with your work at the end.
