In this wide-ranging interview Professor Margaret Archer discusses a variety of aspects of her work, academic career and influences, beginning with the role the study of education systems played in the development of the morphostatic/morphogenetic (M/M) framework, moving on to the trilogy of works which set out her 'SAC', and concluding with discussion of her most recent two projects: the scope for a Morphogenic Society and more recent speculative prospects for personhood in the context of society's growing interest in Artificial Intelligence (AI), transhumanism and posthumanism.
