Academia Next book wins 2020 Most Significant Futures Work award

My Academia Next book wins 2020 Most Significant Futures Work award

“My most recent book, Academia Next: The Futures of Higher Education, appeared from Johns Hopkins University Press over the 2019-2020 winter.  It got some good notices until March, whereupon people freaked out about how it forecast a pandemic before COVID appeared.

Now I’m delighted to announce Academia Next has won its first award!

The Association of Professional Futurists (APF) gives annual awards for Most Significant Futures Works.  The intent: “identifying and rewarding the work of professional futurists and others whose work illuminates aspects of the future.”  Historically prizes have gone to research into forecasting methods and content, as well as to literary and artistic project.”
