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.
