“Story and narrative are the code for humanity’s operating system. Emerging media cannot risk limited inclusion and suffer the same pitfalls of traditional media. The stakes are too high.”

- These talks were recorded between September 3rd until December 10th for an engaging lecture and Q & A.
- Watch and Learn alongside a Media Entrepreneurship ProSeminar of 40 GSU students, CMII faculty and the public as we navigate the future of media and how we can work together to make a more inclusive digital world.

Based on the research and book, Making a New Reality by Kamal Sinclair and Jessica Clark, this series will discuss inclusive creative ecosystems/economies/media futures. Topics we hope to cover include creative labor, cultural artifacts, intellectual property, blockchain, access to technology, unions, precarious work, UBI, Afrofuturism, risk and entrepreneurship, and the circular economy.
