A Definition of Learning – A Video

November 20, 2022 by Dr Rob Long Leave a Comment

The Rhizome as a Learning Model for Risk

July 17, 2022 by Dr Rob Long 2 Comments

I have written before about the semiotic/metaphor of the rhizome (https://safetyrisk.net/like-a-rhizome-cowboy/ ), introduced by Deleuze as a model for understanding learning and knowing.

Adversarial Collaboration for Learning in Safety

Adversarial Collaboration for Learning in Safety This is the title of a recent video published by Daniel Kahneman.
