About this subject
This subject takes an interdisciplinary approach to understanding complex adaptive systems and developing practical skills in systems thinking. It is structured into five inter-related modules, beginning and ending with philosophical reflection on the human capacity to think about systems. Students are introduced to the history, concepts and tools of systems thinking, including methods such as causal loop diagrams, and explore case studies in natural systems, human health and the economy before examining different leverage points for intervening in complex systems. By critically engaging with ‘wicked’ sustainability challenges, students develop the mindset, skills and humility required to manage complexity - abilities that are widely applicable and transformative, fostering new ways of thinking, decision-making and leadership across disciplines and professions. The subject will be delivered online, combining interactive presentations, guided activities, and live collaborative workshops to create an engaging and supportive learning environment.
