As I have asserted for some years now, at the heart of futures studies is the focus on change. No serious forecast of any alternative future can be achieved without some sense of how change happens and no aspiring vision of the future can be seriously attempted without some sense of how change can be made. The understanding and anticipation of change lies at the heart of all good futures work.
That being said, there are few resources out there that, at least from an intellectual standpoint, consistently meet the need of trained futurists for thinking and research on change in society than the "experiment in thinking" blog, Understanding Society.
For ongoing intellectual (and theoretically grounded) provocation about how and why society changes, I highly recommend following this excellent resource.
