Values in Action at Western University

CRHESI is proud to be part of the Western community. We strive to support values in action as we bring communities together to collaborate, research and address wicked problems.

“Wicked problems”are very difficult to solve due to their complex, contradictory, changing or cross-cutting nature (Weber & Khademian, 2008). Health inequities for example, are described as “wicked” because they appear intractable and unsolvable. We believe that moving knowledge to action is one way we act on our values.

How do you enact your values?
