Resilience: the capacity to absorb shocks to the system without losing the ability to function. Can whole societies become resilient in the face of traumatic change? In April 2008 natural and social scientists from around the world gathered in Stockholm, Sweden for a first-ever global conference applying lessons from nature's resilience to human societies in the throes of unprecedented transition.
Guests: Crawford Stanley (Buzz) Holling, Emeritus Eminent Scholar and Professor in Ecological Sciences, University of Florida Dr. Brian Walker, Honorary Post-retirement Fellow CSIRO Sustainable Ecosystems, Canberra, Australia Dr. Carl Folke, Editor-in-Chief Ecology and Society, Resilience Alliance, Sweden Charles Redman, Director, School of Sustainability, Arizona State University Will Steffan, Director, The Fenner School of Environment and Society, Australian National University Dr.Frances Westley, Chair, Social Innovation Generation (SiG), University of Waterloo, Ontario, Canada
The Penguin and The Leviathan: The Science and Practice of Cooperation by Yochai Benkler, 2010-10-13
Harvard professor and business author Yochai Benkler questions the centuries-old practice of managing people through incentive structures – both rewards and punishment – based on an assumption of individual selfishness. He will review examples of successful institutions – ranging from Toyota to Wikipedia – that have turned to human cooperation rather than behavior modification and control to achieve their desired ends. He shows how recent work in human behavioral and brain sciences and in evolutionary theory is helping us better understand how and why these systems work.
