Wicked problems, origins, and governance approaches needed to move towards a sustainable society
Dr. Robin van Kessel is currently employed as an Assistant Professor at the Department of International Health at Maastricht University.
This lecture’s core topic revolves around the co-existence of many ‘wicked’ problems in modern society, which are problems that are hard to conceptualise, seemingly resistant to solutions, and involve an array of stakeholders. Notable examples include climate change, humanitarian crises, digital divides and – most recently – COVID-19. The lecture will explore different governance approaches and concrete steps that can be pursued to work towards addressing and (potentially) solving ‘wicked’ problems.
