It all happens in the system: Focusing on Social Justice and Change

• In Event: STC- Social Justice (h)

Short Description

Societies are systems. They encompass interdependent subsystems that govern the dynamics between humans and their environments. Systems theories provide organizational views of real-world systems but require a systems thinking approach to understand systems’ complexities. In this panel, presenters will give a brief overview of social justice, systems theory, systems thinking, and the interplay between them. The session will end with a discussion with the audience on possible action steps within AECT.
