ANU McCusker Institute SoCIETIE KNoT: Emergence & Hopeful Futures

Description

As part of Cybernetics for Social Impact KNoTs, this workshop provides students with space and time to think through what it means by self-organisation, interact with other peers to embody the concept, and understand what makes systems resilient.
We discuss the emergence of patterns in natural and social contexts and identify key elements, such as agents, interactions, feedback, disruption, to analyse self-organised systems. At the end of the session, we apply the insights into designing resilient and hopeful futures. Participants will be equipped with a systemic lens to recognise and work with self-organising dynamics in socio-ecological contexts and get inspired to imagine hopeful, emergent futures.
