OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

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.
