My Fulbright research will explore the use of imagination as a tool to better consider policy options in the context of technological innovations. Ultimately I aim to improve methods of interdisciplinary collaboration for high-stakes decision making about our futures.
Indigo is a PhD researcher at the Australian National Centre for the Public Awareness of Science where she studies the interface of science and policy making. Her work focuses on ways to improve and expand interdisciplinary collaboration and expert input in decision-making processes, with a particular interest in the role of imagination and storytelling as a sense-making tool in this area.
As a Fulbright Scholar, Indigo will be spending time at Arizona State University to test and develop her method of ‘collaborative imagination’ on technological innovation challenges faced in the US.
