The role of narrative, ambivalence thinking, fair deliberation and responsible choice

How does one decide to act in contexts of high complexity and radical uncertainty? By the term ‘deciding to act’ we mean a process that bridges decision making and action: a process people go through, which encompasses sense making, ideation, planning, judgment, choice and commitment to act. Something more than developing an idea that will solve a problem; that is, an intentional commitment and feeling that an imagined future is possible (even being uncertain) and that we can act toward achieving it.

This workshop aims to investigate decision making and action in the context of radical uncertainty, by looking at the critical role of narrative, ambivalence thinking and fair deliberation in the making of responsible collective choices toward (uncertain but possible) sustainable futures.
