On wickedness and complexity

I tend to be interested in the biggest, seemingly-least tractable problems in the world. This informed why I chose public health as a career, and why One Health issue fascinate me to no end. To unify my thinking on this topic, I have been inspired to learn as much as I can about the concept of “wicked problems” and complexity.

This topic largely excites me because it enables me to read literature across multiple disciplinary lines.

My current list of disciplines to explore includes (of course) public health, economics, environmental conservation, design, and most recently, project management.

From time to time I will be updating this blog with my learnings from a given article on this topic.

By doing this, I hope to tease out an outline of a larger document on the general topic of wicked problems.

Enjoy!
