The Social Science Research Council was pleased to convene a group of seventeen esteemed scholars who have been working in ways that might be identified as Anticipatory Social Research (ASR). This group will begin the work of defining ASR, identifying potential sites for ASR inside and outside the academy, and ascertaining examples of emerging phenomena that may be opaque to existing methodologies and in need of a more anticipatory approach.
