This SIG provides a venue for developing and discussing ideas, strategies, frameworks, opportunities, and challenges relevant to research towards developing and applying GSTs.<br /> <br /> Topics include:<br /> * Comparing and contrasting candidate approaches to General Systems Theory.<br /> * Refining the concepts central to general systems.<br /> * Identifying principles of behaviors and structures across kinds of systems.<br /> * Discussing the limitations and potentials of GST to facilitate interdisciplinary communication, scientific discovery, and the unity of knowledge.<br /> <br /> The SIG also focuses on the coherence of AR and other SIGs in the ISSS. The last focus was on the [[Critical Social Theory]] perspective that some action researchers share with [[Critical Systems Thinking]].<br /> <br /> <br /> ==Chairs, Members and Reading Materials==<br /> <br /> ===Members===<br /> <br /> ===Reading Materials===<br /> Below are reading lists of seminal papers in AR as well as the latest publications in the field of AR from a systems thinking perspective:<br /> * https://journals.isss.org/index.php/proceedings62nd/article/view/3461/1128<br /> * https://journals.isss.org/index.php/proceedings62nd/article/view/3363/1033<br /> * https://journals.isss.org/index.php/proceedings62nd/article/view/3489/1049<br /> * https://journals.isss.org/index.php/proceedings62nd/article/view/3348/1114<br /> * https://journals.isss.org/index.php/proceedings61st/article/view/3217/986<br /> * https://journals.isss.org/index.php/proceedings60th/article/view/2923/1008<br /> * https://journals.isss.org/index.php/proceedings60th/article/view/2991/1021<br /> * https://journals.isss.org/index.php/proceedings60th/article/view/2988/982<br /> * https://journals.isss.org/index.php/proceedings60th/article/view/2917/1007<br /> * https://journals.isss.org/index.php/proceedings60th/article/view/2925/1009<br /> * https://journals.isss.org/index.php/proceedings58th/article/view/2242/937<br /> * https://journals.isss.org/index.php/proceedings58th/article/view/2380/761<br /> * https://journals.isss.org/index.php/proceedings58th/article/view/2297/782<br /> * https://journals.isss.org/index.php/proceedings57th/article/view/2019/690<br /> * https://journals.isss.org/index.php/proceedings57th/article/view/2374/1025<br /> * https://journals.isss.org/index.php/proceedings57th/article/view/2066/717<br /> * https://journals.isss.org/index.php/proceedings57th/article/view/2107/724<br /> * https://journals.isss.org/index.php/proceedings56th/article/view/1823/626<br /> * https://journals.isss.org/index.php/proceedings56th/article/view/1824/615<br /> * https://journals.isss.org/index.php/proceedings56th/article/view/1795/670<br /> * https://journals.isss.org/index.php/proceedings56th/article/view/1917/673<br /> * https://journals.isss.org/index.php/proceedings56th/article/view/1811/619<br /> * https://journals.isss.org/index.php/proceedings56th/article/view/1886/672<br /> * https://journals.isss.org/index.php/proceedings56th/article/view/1943/657<br /> <br /> ===Links to videos===<br /> Below are links to videos from discussion sessions attended by ISSS members discussing their use of AR.<br /> <br /> <br /> [[Category:SIGs]]</div>
