How do our understandings of the past, present, and future shape today’s pressing issues – climate change, migration, technological innovation, economic uncertainty, and democracy? Temporal concepts are not just abstract; they’re mobilised in public discourse and in personal processes of identity, belonging, and political engagement. This round table brings together contributors from the international workshop Past Tense, Future Imperfect: Temporalities as Mobilising Force to explore how anthropology engages with time as a lived, contested, and relational phenomenon. Drawing on global perspectives and diverse research contexts, the discussion considers how people remember, anticipate, and act through time – rethinking linear chronologies, reimagining ethnographic methods, and experimenting with new ways of sharing knowledge.
