Neuro-Futurism and Re-Imagining Leadership: An A-Z Towards Collective Liberation
By Kai Syng Tan


  *   Spotlights anti-oppression tactics to dismantle and re-build ‘leadership’ as a creative, mobilities practice
  *   Addresses lacunae in mobilities by entangling creativity, neurodivergence, social justice & non-western discourses
  *   Joins forces with — and enriches — current discourse and action on power, equity, joy & collective liberation

About this book
This book is a rip-roaring manifesto that re-claims ways to think about and do ‘leadership’. Colliding mobilities, neuro-queering, the arts and culture, critical leadership studies, social justice, creative pedagogy, futurity and Daoist cosmology for the first time, the book proposes ‘neuro-futurism’ as a beyond-colonial, heuristic change-making tool-kit for individuals and institutions. Celebrating the Dangerous, Demeaning and Dirty labour of Deviant/Defiant culture-workers often side-lined in (leadership) scholarship across 26 break-neck chapters and 39 images, this book challenges white-supremacist-cis-het-neuro-normative-capitalist-patriarchal forms of power and knowledge. Punchy, punching up and pulling no punches, it is a call to arms, feet, sole-soul, to co-create tables/houses/worlds that profit (neuro-)divergent people, planet, poetry and play. The deadline is 2050, so we’re running out of time. Are you ready for an extra-ordinary adventure?
