Announcing a New MSR Discussion Group:
MSR, Global Consciousness, and Social Challenges
In support of MSR's expanding commitment to making a difference in the world, Ian Mitroff and Judi Neal are hosting a community discussion on the intersection of MSR, the emerging field of global consciousness, and ways in which these fields help us understand and positively impact the social challenges facing humanity in the present and the future.
Some of the questions we might explore are:
- The divisiveness in the world is greater than any time in our lifetimes. What can MSR do to heal these divides in our research and teaching?
- What is the connection between MSR and the emerging field of global consciousness?
- What does spirituality and systems approaches have to contribute to each other?
- We are seeing that everything impacts everything else. How do our theories and practices help us know how to intervene in wicked problems.
Ian and Judi will provide a brief introduction to the topic and will facilitate an exploratory dialogue in breakout groups.
