Systems Thinking Workshop
part of the UMSI Theme Year on Water Conservation & Access

Facilitated by Paul Seelbach, Retired School for Environment and Sustainability Professor of Practice

Systems thinking is a method used to make sense of the complexity of the world by looking at it in terms of wholes and relationships rather than through evaluating separate parts. It has been used as a way of exploring and developing effective action in complex contexts, enabling systems change. In this workshop, students will explore and consider water-related challenges and complex water processes through a systems lens. This will involve an introduction to systems theory, considering patches and connectivity within systems, thinking about what role humans play within systems, and placing systems thinking in the information context. Students will be provided an interactive opportunity to apply learning within group activities. This event is part of the UMSI Theme Year: Water Conservation and Access series.
