Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. The two-week OxTalks freeze period starts on Monday 2nd March. During this time, there will be no facility to publish or edit events. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period. Once Oxford Events launches, you will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
In this first lecture, Tima Bansal sets the stage by contrasting analytical thinking with systems thinking. She explores the fundamental assumptions that underlie systems thinking, defining what a system is by drawing from research in systems dynamics and from the relational ontologies of Indigenous Peoples. And finally, Tima outlines approaches for understanding and engaging with systems to support holistic rather than narrow interpretations.
