Social Sensemaking – Free eBook

Social Sensemaking – Free eBook

social sensemakingSocial Sensemaking was first published in August 2016.

It’s a book written as a reflection of a ‘learning adventure’ of the Social Psychology of Risk, and inspired by Dr Rob Long.

While it was pulled together by one of our regular contributors to the Blog Rob Sams, there are various Chapters that have been written by Rob’s friends (and fellow study buddies/bloggers) including:

  • Gab Carlton – https://resilyence.com/
  • Hayden Collins
  • Dave Whitefield – https://www.peopleandrisk.com/
  • James Ellis – http://www.frameworkgroup.com.au/
  • Scott McArthur
  • Rob’s wife, De Sullivan
  • Safety Differently’s Ron Gantt
  • Special mention goes to our mate Roy Fitzgerald who offered so much by way of critique and further editing.
  • and of course our dear friend, Editor in Chief and fellow critical thinker; the late Max Geyer.

The Forward is written by our very own Dave Collins, host of the safetyrisk.net blog, and life long learner. Dave shares his thoughts at the beginning of the book in an honest and real way; you don’t be disappointed.  The book was inspired by learnings that were facilitated by Dr Rob Long. It’s quite a journal of reflection and learning, not your ordinary practice in our modern day to day living.
