Due Diligence Workshop Unit 13 (eLearning)
22 June 2020
Overview
This is a unit that brings together the complex Body of Knowledge in the Social Psychology of Risk (SPoR), aspects of Critical and Cultural Theory, Critical Thinking skills and the dialectical methodology at the foundation of SPoR. The structure of the unit works through the nature of popular philosophies in risk, methodologies, ideologies, ontologies and ethical conundrums that are strewn across the risk genre and landscape but that are rarely named or discussed.
The unit teaches participants how to use the iThink Critical Thinking Clock as well as essential skills in deconstruction, interpretation and hermeneutics . The iThink Clock is a tool to help in the deconstruction and analysis of what lies at the foundation of many popular ideas and methods in risk. The many methods on the market rarely disclose their underlying beliefs, values and philosophies. This unit teaches participants how to critique, develop an ontology and understand hidden philosophies.
