How Does Change Work?
The systems thinking paradigm guides how our team seeks to understand problems
and works to create structural, relational, and transformative change.
In affiliation with the Social Science
Research Center
of Mississippi State University, our unit has the technical skills
to help agencies and organizations better understand and
address the complex problems they face.
The Systems Change Lab is a division of both the Office of Research and Economic Development and the Division of Agriculture, Forestry, and Veterinary Medicine at MSU and receives support from the Mississippi Agriculture and Forestry Experiment Station.
