Greetings folks,
I teach systems thinking as an analytical tool in many of my food & environmental classes. After years of struggling to find useful and accessible multimedia content on systems thinking, I finally produced a 9-part video series outlining my sense of the discipline. I figured others might find this useful, so thought I would pass along links to the videos, which are all hosted on YouTube (ad-free). Most are around 15 minutes, though a couple are longer. This is my first crack at video production, so I would love your feedback.

I offer my patrons a variety of rewards, including access to video summaries, discussion questions, class activities, and other complementary materials designed to support the use of my videos in educational settings. I will release some of the materials associated with this video series in August, and the rest in September. All the best, Eric Garza, PhD Cell: (802) 881-8675 Web: EricGarza.info<http://ericgarza.info>
