这个复杂世界，我们准备好了吗？

谭静远

“复杂”这个词，我们经常挂在嘴边。医生说病情复杂，经济学家研究复杂系统，品酒师会说“这酒香气层次很复杂”。但你可能会觉得，最复杂的事情其实是——谈恋爱。谭静远是一位擅长处理复杂问题的社会设计师。她希望借助这场演讲，帮我们换个角度、戴上一副新的“理解眼镜”，重新看待那些让人抓狂的复杂问题。

她是造点共益设计咨询公司的合伙人，也是一位长期关注社会议题的实践者。她出生于成都，11岁随父母移民加拿大，后来在多伦多大学攻读生物学本科学位，并辅修物理与数学。2008年，她获得分子生物与生物信息方向的硕士学位，并进入安大略省卫生部从事科研工作。

但工作一年后，她决定回到中国，全职投入乡村教育创新。她曾担任广州“天地人禾消费合作社”的CEO，也担任过银杏基金会的品牌传播顾问，持续在不同议题中实践“复杂问题中的系统性回应”。

Are we ready for this complex world?

Linda Tan

We say “complex” all the time. A doctor might say a disease is complex. Economists study complexity theory. Wine experts might say, “This wine has complex notes.” But let’s be real—you might feel that love is the most complicated thing in the world.

Linda Tan is a social designer who works on making sense of complexity. In this talk, she hopes to offer us a new lens—a fresh way of seeing and navigating complex problems in the world around us.

Linda is a partner at Make-a-Point, a consulting firm focused on social good. She was born in Chengdu and immigrated to Toronto at the age of 11. She earned a B.Sc. in Biology, with minors in Physics and Math from the University of Toronto in 2006, followed by a Master’s in Molecular Biology and Bioinformatics in 2008. She then worked in research at Ontario’s Ministry of Health.

But after a year on the job, she made a big decision—to return to China and dedicate herself fully to reimagining rural education. She later became CEO of Tiandi Renhe, an eco-agriculture social enterprise in Guangzhou, and also served as a branding and communications advisor for the Gingko Foundation.
