The Utopian studies network brings together UEF scholars interested in utopias from a substantial or methodological point of view. Utopian studies aims at broadening conceptions of possible futures and creating tools for the use of political imagination. Empirically, utopian research focuses on conceptions about desired futures. Theoretically, it touches upon utopias as criticism, amongst other themes.
