I am a scholar on the future of work and education; a global speaker; the founder of Education Futures LLC ; and, Editor-in-Chief of On the Horizon , an academic journal focused on new futures for education. My work is focused on meeting Sustainable Development Goal 4 : Ensuring inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all —with an eye toward the future.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, I am working with international organizations on the global response to the crisis, developing innovative pathways of support for the world's most impacted teachers and students through technologies.
I am concerned about human capital development as society approaches an increasingly complex and ambiguous future. Technological change drives social change, and the impact of these changes is accelerating exponentially. Our schools, universities, and other knowledge-based institutions must leap ahead of this curve for all people to compete in highly globalized, knowledge- and innovation-based societies.
