About Jane McConnell

Looking back for a moment

This is not a traditional “about” page. I have already shared my last 30 years with you on the author-creator page and the researcher-practitioner page. I won’t repeat it here.

First, a quick look at the past…

From Nebraska to Provence

Born in Nebraska, young days in Arizona, university in California, and professional life in France for several decades. I now live in Provence, minutes away from the Roman Pont du Gard. The dignity and timelessness of the site are a constant reminder of the balance we all need between the past and the present. A little more here.

Now on to the future!

Here is where I am heading today.

Future2043

I have conducted a global survey – short and simple – with just 16 questions! You can read a short description on my Substack newsletter: Imagine ourselves in 2043.

I am exploring how people in different countries imagine the future will be in 20 years. I’ll publish the report in the third quarter of 2023.

In this spirit, I am preparing a podcast and new website, and will update you here soon.

I joined the Long Now foundation in 2021, a non-profit established in 01996 to foster long term thinking.

I have also joined the Mars Society, the world’s largest and most influential space advocacy organization dedicated to the human exploration and settlement of the planet Mars.
