SUMMARY:System Dynamics Relationships for Community-Led Health Promotion in Rural Australia
DESCRIPTION:Join us to learn about how System Dynamics Relationships for Community-lead health promotion in rural Australia is making an impact! \nEvent Details: \nThursday\, August 28\, 11:00 am\nIn person: CUNY SPH\, 55 W. 125th Street\, New York\, NY 10027 Room: 825\nOr via Zoom. \nIt is well known that systems change requires long-term\, ongoing efforts\, driven by strong partnerships. While there are many examples of strong long-term partnerships between universities and communities\, structural issues (such as funding and incentives within academia) can limit the ability to form these partnerships. In this talk\, Andrew will present on his 10-year relationship with South West Victoria\, a rural and regional area in Australia\, and highlight some of his own perspectives and learnings in forming and maintaining meaningful partnerships. He’ll highlight how he has used community-based system dynamics\, including both qualitative and quantitative modelling\, as a basis for engagement\, capacity building\, and mobilisation. The talk will then open up for discussion about approaches to partnership with systems thinking\, acknowledging the rich and diverse expertise amongst academics in forming these kinds of relationships. \nAndrew’s work focuses on applying community development and systems thinking to health and social problems. He works with communities to build systems thinking capacity by co-creating maps and simulation models representing problems of interest they want to act on. He also builds capacity through community-based training workshops on systems thinking and in his teaching on community development. He primarily draws from community-based system dynamics to inform his systems thinking and community development work. He has worked on several projects across Victoria\, Australia and internationally on a diverse range of topics\, including food systems\, family violence prevention\, and mental health promotion. \n
