Growing CUHF Community at MIT
Will the future be humane and livable? What knowledge and values will guide and sustain us? For nearly two years,...
In the Council on the Uncertain Human Future
we deepen our awareness of the planetary changes underway,
acknowledge the human behavior that brought us here
and the implications for all living beings, including ourselves.
This is a way of engaging deeply the
realities, terrors and losses related to
changes in the climate…
We ask… how can we be, what might we offer,
individually and together? With and for the Earth?
Given what we know, how do we live now?
that opens minds and hearts toward
ethical, compassionate and mindful
approaches to living in the new realities…
This year offers an opening, a shift in possibilities.
It needs the reckoning, listening, insight, courage, community,
persistence and evolutionary visioning encouraged in the CUHF…
it is a path for the gravity of these times.
Please explore our practice stream, readers and films…
Learn more of our intentions, the ongoing contributions of CUHF members,
and how you might join us.
…it gives us courage.

In Witness
In December 2020, a small group of CUHF members visited MASS MoCA in North Adams MA, where two powerful exhibitions were on view—Ledelle Moe’s When and Blane De St. Croix’s How to Move a Landscape. Together, Council members reflected on what they had seen. Nara Garber documented the experience, and created this film, In Witness.
We welcome you to view the film.

CUHF Community at MIT
Since the summer of 2020, faculty and staff at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have been convening in small circles to build and deepen collective reflection on the planetary environmental crisis, as an Affiliate of the Council on the Uncertain Human Future.
It’s Time for Higher Education to “Get Real” about the Climate Crisis
Learn about the history of the Council on the Uncertain Human Future, and our work in A new Earth conversation (NEC) at Clark University, in a new piece by CUHF Core Team member, Diana Chapman Walsh.
A new Earth conversation Brochure
The initial Council on the Uncertain Human Future (2014) inspired Clark University faculty and staff to join the process (2015-2019); a vision for A new Earth conversation emerged from those Councils and has grown into a campus-wide climate initiative, enabling deeper conversation and cultivating possibility with students.
