Up in the Air: Understanding Vulnerability When Toilets Fly

Description

SESYNC has selected this case study as an exemplary S-E synthesis case study.

The goal of this case study is to encourage students to develop an appreciation for systems thinking through the construction of a conceptual model of household vulnerability in Uganda. Students will work in small teams to review vulnerability literature and studies focused on Uganda.  Students will then use that information to construct a concept map that highlights the linkages among multiple variables and identify points of intervention that are effective in reducing household vulnerability and improving coping capacity to various stressors.
