Understanding diversity in mental models 101

by Gabriele Bammer

Understanding diversity in mental models 101 - part 2 of a new introductory guide to the importance of diversity in research https://i2insights.org/2022/04/28/diversity-in-mental-models/. Mental models 1) affect how problems are framed, understood & responded to plus how well contributors can work together, 2) are a person's unique understanding of world & how it works, applying to all aspects of reality, 3) exist in person's mind as small-scale models of different aspects of reality, are functional but incomplete, 4) are based on person's knowledge, experiences, perceptions, values & beliefs; are dynamic but self-reinforcing, 5) explain a person's reasoning, # decision making & behaviour; shape assumptions & expectations of others. =================================================== Professor Gabriele Bammer National Centre for Epidemiology and Population Health ANU College of Health and Medicine The Australian National University 62 Mills Road Acton ACT 2601 Australia +61 2 6125 0716 Gabriele.Bammer(a)anu.edu.au<mailto:Gabriele.Bammer@anu.edu.au> @GabrieleBammer http://i2s.anu.edu.au<http://www.anu.edu.au/iisn> http://i2Insights.org<http://i2insights.org/> CRICOS Provider # 00120C ===================================================

Uncovering unknown unknowns through creative writing

by Gabriele Bammer

Uncovering unknown unknowns through creative writing is described by Lelia Green in her revisited blog post at https://i2insights.org/2019/10/22/creative-writing-and-unknown-unknowns/. Favourable conditions include 1) being focused for some time, 2) investing periods of concentration & attention, but allowing an internal, less-conscious process to take over, 3) intense engagement with the bigger picture that enables the minutiae of detail to fall subconsciously into place. Creativity requires relinquishing control & being open to the unexpected. What's your experience been? =================================================== Professor Gabriele Bammer National Centre for Epidemiology and Population Health ANU College of Health and Medicine The Australian National University 62 Mills Road Acton ACT 2601 Australia +61 2 6125 0716 Gabriele.Bammer(a)anu.edu.au<mailto:Gabriele.Bammer@anu.edu.au> @GabrieleBammer http://i2s.anu.edu.au<http://www.anu.edu.au/iisn> http://i2Insights.org<http://i2insights.org/> CRICOS Provider # 00120C ===================================================

3 lessons for policy engagement esp in global south

by Gabriele Bammer

3 lessons for policy engagement are described by Emily Hayter in https://i2insights.org/2022/04/26/lessons-for-policy-engagement/. They are: 1) build mutual understanding between researchers & policymakers as actors in a system for an ongoing, messy, iterative, collaborative process; 2) strengthen productive collaboration going beyond dialogue to co-create practical solutions; 3) recognise that research/policy interface is not a power-neutral space & inequities exist in global south as well as between north & south. Inequities in global south are especially experienced by women researchers, early-career researchers & those in 'non apex' institutions. Have you found ways to overcome these? What has your experience been in supporting policy engagement by researchers? Do you have other lessons to share? =================================================== Professor Gabriele Bammer National Centre for Epidemiology and Population Health ANU College of Health and Medicine The Australian National University 62 Mills Road Acton ACT 2601 Australia +61 2 6125 0716 Gabriele.Bammer(a)anu.edu.au<mailto:Gabriele.Bammer@anu.edu.au> @GabrieleBammer http://i2s.anu.edu.au<http://www.anu.edu.au/iisn> http://i2Insights.org<http://i2insights.org/> CRICOS Provider # 00120C ===================================================

Understanding diversity 101 – a new introductory guide to the importance of diversity in research

by Gabriele Bammer

Understanding diversity 101 – a new introductory guide to the importance of diversity in research https://i2insights.org/2022/04/21/why-diversity/. Part 1 covers the benefits and costs of including different perspectives, plus sources of diversity. Benefits are: 1) developing a more comprehensive understanding of any complex problem, both what is known & what is not known, 2) providing a greater range of ideas about addressing the problem, including what may & may not work, and 3) providing more effective insights into how research can support policy & practice change to address problems by government, business & civil society. Costs are challenges in collaboration. Sources are disciplinary & stakeholder perspectives, plus cross-cutting sources incl gender-identity and ethnicity. This primer will focus on mental models, culture, power, values and more over the next 9 weeks. Your input is welcome! =================================================== Professor Gabriele Bammer National Centre for Epidemiology and Population Health ANU College of Health and Medicine The Australian National University 62 Mills Road Acton ACT 2601 Australia +61 2 6125 0716 Gabriele.Bammer(a)anu.edu.au<mailto:Gabriele.Bammer@anu.edu.au> @GabrieleBammer http://i2s.anu.edu.au<http://www.anu.edu.au/iisn> http://i2Insights.org<http://i2insights.org/> CRICOS Provider # 00120C ===================================================

How to combine rigorous research with fostering change based on values

by Gabriele Bammer

How to combine rigorous research with fostering change based on values is described by Alexandra Knight and Catherine Allan in their blog post https://i2insights.org/2022/04/19/intentional-ecology/. Their framework brings care, reflexivity, methodological pluralism, action & advocacy to ecological & other research. Intention in research highlights choice & action versus chance & habit. It is intrinsically related with active understanding, aims & purposes, meanings & importance, & values. Do you have a framework for incorporating advocacy into your research? Can you see applications for intentional ecology framework to problems that are not necessarily ecological? =================================================== Professor Gabriele Bammer National Centre for Epidemiology and Population Health ANU College of Health and Medicine The Australian National University 62 Mills Road Acton ACT 2601 Australia +61 2 6125 0716 Gabriele.Bammer(a)anu.edu.au<mailto:Gabriele.Bammer@anu.edu.au> @GabrieleBammer http://i2s.anu.edu.au<http://www.anu.edu.au/iisn> http://i2Insights.org<http://i2insights.org/> CRICOS Provider # 00120C ===================================================

How collective impact is linked to open living systems

by Gabriele Bammer

How collective impact is linked to open living systems is reviewed in Lewis Atkinson's revisited blog post at https://i2insights.org/2019/05/21/collective-impact-and-open-living-systems/. The five characteristics of collective impact (shared aspiration, strategic learning, high leverage opportunities for change, inclusive community engagement, backbone support) can be strengthened by the 12 characteristics of open living systems (holism, feedback, open systems, input/output, boundaries, interrelated parts, equifinality, multiple outcomes, hierarchy, entropy, dynamic equilibrium, and internal elaboration). =================================================== Professor Gabriele Bammer National Centre for Epidemiology and Population Health ANU College of Health and Medicine The Australian National University 62 Mills Road Acton ACT 2601 Australia +61 2 6125 0716 Gabriele.Bammer(a)anu.edu.au<mailto:Gabriele.Bammer@anu.edu.au> @GabrieleBammer http://i2s.anu.edu.au<http://www.anu.edu.au/iisn> http://i2Insights.org<http://i2insights.org/> CRICOS Provider # 00120C ===================================================
