By 2050 it is projected that humanity will require almost three planets to live in if we continue to consume as we currently do.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Changing the way we live in the world will require that we transform our current structural and cultural systems. The democratic and creative generation of good solutions is the beginning of this process, but effective transformation requires that these be successfully integrated and new, enduring systems emerge.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">This poster outlines some exploratory work &nbsp;that attempts to make sense of the contributions that Dewey&rsquo;s pragmatism and Archer&rsquo;s morphogenesis can contribute to systemic transformation.</p> ER -
