Among these problems are global climate change, food insecurity, growing socio-economic inequality, systemic racism, and emerging infectious diseases. Yet it is precisely these problems—identified by a growing number of scholars as “wicked problems”—that society most urgently needs to address'.In this course, INS5303 Design and Social Innovation, students will develop a critical understanding of the theoretical foundations and practical applications of design thinking and social innovation. It introduces students to the methodologies required to turn the analysis of social issues into structured actions through problem framing and creative collaboration with others. Applied Systems Thinking, Design Thinking and Futures Thinking will be explored during this course. Show less

A Think and Do Tank, we expose the anomalies that threaten organizational, national and global well-being, security and prosperity. Through our network of globally distributed affiliate researchers, we facilitate problem framing, solution navigation and future proofing design solutions.

Local and international organizations, governments and United Nation agencies are in need of highly trained professionals to manage and direct programs to reduce the global public health threats that continue to plague us. Where and when the next tsunami or earthquake will strike, or how the next terrorist group will respond is unknown. But the logic behind professionally mitigating and preparing for one of these incidences places us in a stronger position to respond. This concentration builds on the existing framework of the College of Public Health core courses, field experience and special project. Combining this framework with the existing disaster management, humanitarian assistance, and homeland security courses will provide graduates with the ability to recognize, assess, implement and evaluate a global or local disaster.
