We were founded in the belief that the study of complex systems can have wide reaching implications for future attempts to dream up and bring about a better world. Without professing to know specifically what 'social justice' might mean, and composed of members with varied backgrounds and beliefs, our goal is to find ways to link the study of complex systems with people for varied lines of work - academics, activists, researchers, policy-makers, scientists, educators, journalists, etc. - who feel that the study of complex systems can help give insight into what might produce a better world. By bringing together those looking for information, papers, opportunities for collaboration, new opinions or insights, new tools and methodologies, and those who are simply curious, we hope to bring the insights of complex systems study to any and all working to make a better world for tomorrow.

This site aims to be a general clearinghouse for any and all interested in the social aspects of the study of complex systems. Combining a forum (in order to make finding information on topics easy), blog (for longer-form contributions, posting of general questions, announcements, calls for collaboration), and a wiki (designed to help make complex systems topics more accessible for those who may be unfamiliar with varying terms used on the site), we hope to foster dialogue, discussion, and exchange of information, opportunities, resources and contacts. We hope you will join us in our efforts to connect the study of the complex with those who seek to engage in the pressing issues of the day.

Some Issues that Concern Us: Global Poverty, Racism, Wealth Inequality, Globalization and 'Free' Trade, Education, Fostering cooperation, relations between over- and underdeveloped nations, Neoliberal economic policies, role of multinational and non-governmental organizations, public health, interactions between policy and science, etc.

Complexity Tools We Feel Can Impact Work On These Issues
Agent-Based Modeling, Evolutionary Game Theory, Genetic Algorithms, Fitness Landscape Modeling, Non-Linear Dynamics, Network Analysis, Fuzzy Systems Theory, Neural Networks, Time Series Analysis, Statistical Mechanics, Entropy Theory, etc.
