Catalyzing Collective Imagination for Sustainability: A Complex Systems Analysis of Collaborative Cli-Fi Writing

Complex systems analysis of collective imagination for sustainability during an "engineering fiction" learning experience in a high school classroom. A group discourse interaction episode was qualitatively coded at two levels of analysis (individual talk turns and collective imagination of discursive episodes) and analyzed using nonlinear computational analysis techniques (sliding window entropy, state space grids, and lag sequential analysis).
