Content
This unit is concerned with finding effective approaches to deal with 'wicked' problems linked to global unsustainable resource use. Practitioners need 'big picture thinking' and transdisciplinary collaborative skills to effectively manage the complex interrelationships between humans and the environment in a climate-challenged world. Systems and Strategic Thinking is designed to equip students with the systems and futures thinking skills they will need to deal with complex and messy problems in urban, regional and global contexts. The Unit will equip students from fields including arts, sciences, health and other social sciences with an understanding of systems-based and dynamic, participatory management approaches for sustainable social-ecological systems.
