Event description:

The AES Systems SIG is starting an exciting monthly book club!

From May 2025 we’re reading 'Building in Research and Evaluation: Human Inquiry for Living Systems' by Yoland Wadsworth, AES Fellow, who will join us to answer your questions towards the end.

Yoland explains how systems work and draws on sociology, psychology, biology, and ecology to understand them in the context of health and human services. Her approach is innovative and controversial. It offers a theory that explores how living systems flourish.

Online, monthly, at 7-8pm on the first Monday of the month from 5/5/2025 - 1/12/2025
