Which i2Insights contributions inspired you in 2023? What did you learn that was new and how did it help you in tackling the complex societal or environmental problems you focus on? What would you like to see in 2024 and beyond?
One of the delights of curating i2Insights is learning something from every blog post. Another is the personal interactions involved in broadening the global community of contributors, introducing fresh voices and fresh insights, alongside those who are more seasoned contributors.
In this last blog post for 2023, I survey three of the year’s many highlights and what they mean for the operation of i2Insights:
- integration and synthesis as an emerging ‘hot’ topic
- re-introducing “golden oldies,” ie. tried and tested tools
- increasing the number of countries represented by contributors, with an accompanying focus on decolonisation.
i2Insights will be back on January 9, 2024 (Australian time) with our 500th contribution, which is also the first from Sri Lanka.
