Wicked Problems

Dan Ellis

Many of us feel a strong desire to engage with the great issues facing the world. However, when we consider wicked problems like climate change, poverty and social injustice, their scale and complexity can often leave us profoundly confused and frustrated. In my academic pursuits I have been lucky to be able to talk to thoughtful individuals about the issues of the world, continually revealing insights that radically change my perspectives. In this podcast, I invite you to join me as we navigate the convoluted quagmires of Wicked Problems.

    Medicine & Health (with Dr. Negar Elmieh & Dr. Emma Davy)

    People are turning to alternative therapies like never before in modern history. Why is this? What might be wrong with conventional medicine and what new risks do alternative therapies pose? When we shop at the grocery store, we want to make sure we are making the right choices for the planet and the safe choices for our families, but how do we know what to buy? Are animal products bad for us? Should we buy organic celery? How can we maintain innovation in healthcare while ensuring foundational research and research for cures receive adequate funding? Listen to Negar and Emma answer these questions and more in another fascinating episode of Wicked Problems.

    Climate Change (with Dr. Ian Picketts)

    Despite government targets and business pledges we don't seem to be making anywhere near the kind of reductions in GHG emissions required to meaningfully address climate change. Why not? What are we doing right? What are we doing wrong? Where can future efforts be focused? In this episode Earth Scientist Dr Ian Picketts and I discuss these questions and more in an attempt to understand what can be done to effectively address climate change.
