The Impact of Complex Systems on Ecological Economics Presenter: Stuart Kauffman Date: 11/12/2010 12:00PM Stuart Kauffman, one of the world's most eminent scientists — a founder of the field of complex systems science, pioneer of biocomplexity research, and MacArthur "Genius" Fellow — visits the Gund for an informal discussion about how complex systems relates to the conceptualization of the field of ecologic economics. STAY TUNED: Tuesday 12/7 at 12:30PM, Stuart Kauffman will return for a follow-up conversation from this 11/12 Gund Tea "Complexity Theory & Ecological Economics. The conversation will start with the following prompt, and take the shape that participants give it: Ecological Economists often talk about complexity (in ecologic systems, economic systems, social systems), but don't necessarily have a full grasp of this term. Last discussion we talked about the frontiers of complexity studies (particularly the need to look at nonalgorithmic patterns and developments). Where can ecological economics take up some of these concepts/frontiers to apply them to their emerging transdiscipline? This event is part of the weekly Gund Tea Series, an opportunity for affiliates of the Gund Institute for Ecological Economics and the broader University community to engage in robust discussion about topical research, current events, and relevant theory. The Teas host visiting scholars and research associates from around the world, as well as some of the Gund's very own fellows & students. For more information on the Gund Tea, contact bkelly4@uvm.edu, or visit our website at uvm.edu/~giee A Production of the Gund Institute for Ecological Economics, an affiliate of the Rubenstein School for Environment & Natural Resources at the University of Vermont The Gund Institute is a transdisciplinary research, teaching, and service organization focused on developing integrative solutions to society's most pressing problems. We conduct integrative research and service-learning projects on a broad range of topics, offer hands-on learning through our problem-solving workshops and courses, develop online teaching resources and international collaborations through metacourses, and support professional and graduate education through our Graduate Certificates in Ecological Economics and Ecological Design.
