This paper studies various foundational economic concepts, with the purpose to support the development of new systemic frameworks for regenerative value systems: those systems that we design, build and work in, that help us provide for our physical needs of food, water, materials, products, structures, and energy et cetera – which also clearly influence and are influenced by our sense of being, culture, worth and abilities and so forth.

The term regenerative underlines that these systems need not only to be sustainable – and to be resilient, but also be actively (and dynamically) engaged in their own (re)production and persistence. With a systemic view (versus a reductionist one) to be engaged in one’s own reproduction, also implies that the surrounding system in which one persists (and thrives), also needs to reproduce itself (regenerate) – and one affects and is affected by the other.

Publishing with RSD

Proceedings of Relating Systems Thinking and Design are published online and include the contributions for each format.

Papers and presentations are entered into a single-blind peer-review process, meaning reviewers see the authors’ names but not vice versa. Reviewers consider the quality of the proposed contribution and whether it addresses topics of interest or raises relevant issues in systemic design. The review process provides feedback and possible suggestions for modifications.

The Organising Committee reviews and assesses workshops and systems maps & exhibits with input from reviewers and the Programme Committee.

The Scholars Spiral

In 2022, the Systemic Design Association adopted the scholars spiral—a cyclic non-hierarchical approach to advance scholarship—and in 2023, launched Contexts—The Systemic Design Journal. Together, the RSD symposia and Contexts support the vital emergence of supportive opportunities for scholars and practitioners to publish work in the interdisciplinary field of systemic design.

The Systemic Design Association's membership ethos is to co-create the socialization and support for all members to contribute their work, find feedback and collaboration where needed, and pursue their pathways toward research and practice outcomes that naturally build a vital design field for the future.
