A Semiotic Understanding of Culture

October 10, 2021 by Dr Rob Long Leave a Comment

A Semiotic Understanding of Culture One of the profound weaknesses of the AIHS BoK Chapter on Culture is a complete omission of an Transdisciplinary focus on culture. The approach to understanding culture omits any sense of Transdisciplinarity is about giving authenticity and value to many … [Read more...] about A Semiotic Understanding of Culture

Causation Concoctions

May 27, 2020 by Dr Rob Long 3 Comments

The AIHS Bok on Causation commences with the following: ‘If safety management is effective, then there should be an absence of accidents.

The Heart of Wisdom at Covid Time

April 24, 2020 by Dr Rob Long 7 Comments

I have had numerous people contact me in the last few weeks about issues of resilience, pastoral care, helping, mental health and wisdom for the workforce and more broadly for families and community.

The Value of Transdisciplinary Inquiry in a Crisis

April 14, 2020 by Dr Rob Long 1 Comment

Australian Story on 13 April 2020 entitled Fighting Fire With Fire (https://www.abc.net.au/austory/fighting-fire-with-fire/12134242) raised the idea that Indigenous Traditional knowledge about fire ought to be valued.

Transdisciplinarity and Worldviews in Risk

November 26, 2019 by Dr Rob Long 18 Comments

‘We do not think of the ordinary person as preoccupied with such difficult and profound questions as: ‘What is truth?’, ‘What is authority?’, ‘To whom do I listen?’, ‘What counts for me as evidence?’, ‘How do I know what I know?’, ‘Why do the good suffer?’, How does any of this make sense?’...

Why Resilience Cannot be Engineered

November 26, 2019 by Dr Rob Long 4 Comments

  ‘A social and community psychology of resilience is needed if we are to understand why many of us are not always able to preserve well-being and sustain our progress toward the goals we have set ourselves and for those about whom we care’ Reich, J., Zautra, A and Hall, J. S., (2010) Handbook … [Read more...] about Why Resilience Cannot be Engineered

November 19, 2019 by Dave Whitefield 14 Comments

  Acknowledgement- This article draws heavily on the concepts of Dr Rob Long, and particularly his work on safety needing to take a transdisciplinary approach.

And the Innovation is? More Controls…..

November 7, 2019 by Dr Rob Long 4 Comments

One of the great anxieties about Safety is the lack of control. If there was a favourite word for the safety industry, this would be it - controls. This is what attracts Safety to the language of numerics and mechanistic worldviews. Even when it transfers to an interest to neuroscience, psychology … [Read more...] about And the Innovation is?

The Keystone Science

August 1, 2018 by Bernard Corden Leave a Comment

The Keystone Science by Bernard Corden Since the early 1970s the holy trinity of democracy with its fundamental tenets of liberty, equality and fraternity has been progressively eroded and usurped by a new world order with a repressive focus on deregulation, diminution and privatisation.
