Tales from… Episode #3 Sense of Community
Cybersalon presents: ‘Tales from the Cyber Salon’; a series of interdisciplinary, technology and policy investigations through science-fiction storytelling. Spanning four events across the year, ‘Tales from the Cyber Salon’ will feature newly commissioned, speculative short stories written for the exploration of Healthcare, The High Street, Social Communities and Political Representation.
Join us for our third event on Tuesday, 21st September when we invite you to explore McMillan and Chavis’s definition of a “sense of community”; Membership, Influence, Reinforcement, and Shared Emotional Connection, and to offer new visions of community in our near-future.
