Iām pleased to announce the launch of a new series of Systems Theory courses, now available both as open-access materials and as supported courses through the International Society for the Systems Sciences (ISSS).
The programme currently includes:
š Motivational Reflexivity (full course available)
š General Systems Theory (modules being released progressively)
š Social Systems Theory (modules being released progressively)
These courses provide a structured pathway from:
š” understanding individual behaviour and motivation
š” through core systems theory
š” to the analysis of complex social systems
All materials are freely available on my website for open, self-paced study.
For those who would prefer a more structured and supported learning experience, the courses are also available via Google Classroom through the ISSS Student SIG, which is currently free to join for students.
Those in full-time or part-time education are especially encouraged to take this route, as it provides access to a supportive learning environment, including guidance from experienced systems scientists, opportunities for discussion with fellow learners, and engagement with a wider international community. ISSS membership also offers access to a range of resources, events, and professional networks that support both academic and personal development in systems theory.
