Title Reflective practitioners: The importance of critical thought for change agents
 
Creator Gibson, Terry
 
Subject Social sciences, transnational movements transformation, disaster risk reduction, disruption, social movements
Description Investment of resources in international development continues to grow, but evidence suggests that progress is patchy and that parameters such as losses resulting from disasters of all scales continue to grow. It is suggested that critical thought and reflection, as an adjunct to action, is vital for both individuals and organisations concerned for social development. It is further argued that disruption is often required in order to dynamically pursue transformation of structures and institutions in order to secure progress towards sustainable livelihoods.
