Reflection and outlook
Workshop: Systems thinking for knowledge integration and collaboration
When we talk about responses to sustainability crises, we often talk about needing systems change. In this workshop, we will work with systems-thinking approaches to unpack what we mean by systems change. We will explore our answers to the following questions:
- Which systems need to change?
- How is change created?
- What role does our research play in contributing to systems change?
In addressing this final question, we will start to work with systems thinking as an organizing concept, or boundary object that helps us deal with complexity and plurality. We will start to position our own work within focal systems, and relative to the work of our colleagues, to understand the links between our work, even where our topics or concepts may seem very different. I hope that by the end of the session, you will have ideas on how you might work with systems thinking in the future to shape your research and collaborations.
