Many call themselves “futurists” — Bryan actually knows how to do it.
Bryan Alexander is perhaps higher education’s most prominent intellectual provocateur.
–The Chronicle of Higher Education
One of the most creative and perceptive people in higher education today!
Is @BryanAlexander a wizard because he wrote about the possibility of a pandemic in 2018? He says he has a beard like one.
“Hardest working man in edtech!”
Gotta love @BryanAlexander‘s ability to catalyze a conversation without leaning on hyperbole or triggers.
This is so well-structured and thoughtful that it almost made me forget I was terrified while reading it.
When @BryanAlexander is futuring about you, you’d better start futuring yer own dang self!
Your prescience is wild.
[F]uturist and higher-ed guru Bryan Alexander…

Thoughts on turning 59 in the year 2026
How does a futurist look at his or her own life? It’s very strange to turn 59, which I did last week. That’s a largely unremarkable thing, since aetat. 59 doesn’t count as an obvious milestone, like 50 or 65. … Continue reading
Merry Christmas, all

Still off caffeine, 13 years later
Greetings from the road. Over the past two weeks I’ve been at home (northern Virginia), Florida, California, and Florida, then back home for a few days. The next fortnight sees more travel as well. So my current posts are cobbled … Continue reading
From the Washington, DC No Kings rally this weekend
On Saturday I joined thousands of people in Washington, DC protesting the Trump administration. The No Kings event seems to have a massive turnout. A mass email from Bernie Sanders estimated 200,000 people in that city’s event. At a larger … Continue reading

How might we do climate action in academia under a second Trump administration?
With the reelection of Donald Trump, a candidate who has flaunted his desire for autocracy—aided and abetted by a Republican-controlled Congress that will not constrain him with guardrails—the United States is now poised to become an authoritarian state ruled by … Continue reading
When an airport gate is a different kind of gate: a much needed delight in Austin, Texas
(Greetings from a darkening November. I have several substantial posts in the pipeline concerning the election. I’ve been sharing thoughts across social media and my Patreon. Yet for today, on a weekend, I wanted to share something lighter and perhaps … Continue reading
Voting on election day
[T]t’s not so hard to adjust our imaginations… we can take a moment to picture a labyrinthine, sometimes obscure process in action—people and machines working together, perhaps under unpleasant circumstances, to obey our command… we might imagine a forest of … Continue reading
Universities on Fire wins a book award
For the past several years I’d focused much of my research capacity on forecasting how the climate crisis might impact higher education, and what academics might do in response. That work appeared in many blog posts, presentations, meetings, Future Trends … Continue reading
