Wisdom in a complex world: Measurement, utility, and interventions

Complexity science and related methods draw from multiple theories and disciplines. As a result, the application of complexity science and methods can potentially help build bridges across disciplines. However, the use of different language and concepts across disciplines can also act as a barrier to achieving transdisciplinary collaborations to address complex challenges.

Please join us on Thursday, Feb. 28^that 10:30 AM in DC 1301 for the first formal WICI faculty networking event!

We'll be available on Thursday, February 28 between 1-2 and between 4:30-5 to answer questions about the event.

Managing air pollution, toxic substances, and climate change is a complex, linked sustainability challenge. To better inform efforts to address these issues, we need to understand how policies to address emissions translate into societal benefits. In this talk, Dr. Selin will present work from her research group, using a systems approach to better understand air pollutants such as particulate matter, ozone, and mercury.
