About the Show

Humanity stands on the shoulders of its ancestors. Our world, our societies, democracies, cities, bodies, and minds have been formed by the generations before us. Just like the generations before us have shaped the world we live in; we are shaping the world future generations will live in.

In the context of the IAS Series on Future Generations, Tessa Roseboom, professor of Early Development and Health, has inspiring and hopeful conversations with guests from various backgrounds. In conversations with researchers, policymakers, artists, and civil societyactors she discusses their personal and professional commitment to link the past to the future and bring about intergenerational solidarity and justice. Through these interdisciplinary dialogues she aims to build coalitions and together take concrete steps towards a sustainable and inclusive future for humanity and the planet.
