• Science as Systemic Intervention: Some Implications of Systems Thinking and Complexity for the Philosophy of Science (2003, background): “…is a substantial body of literature on the theory, methodology and practice of boundary critique: e.g., Churchman (1970, 1979); Ulrich (1983, 1994, 1996); Midgley (1992, 1994, 1997b, 2000); Midgley et al (1998); Brown and Packham (1999); Vega-Romero (1999); Cordoba et al (2000); and Yolles (2001).”

• Collapse and Reorganization in Social-Ecological Systems: Questions, Some Ideas, and Policy Implications (2006, background): “General systems theory holds that all phenomena share structural similarities and obey similar natural laws (von Bertalanffy 1956:8), and that disciplines can communicate better if they learn this common language, a view developed by Wilson (1998) but criticized by Midgley (2000).”
• The Social Finance and Social Innovation Nexus 1 (2012, methodology): “Second, social innovation may also operate at the macro/ institutional level by reconfiguring entire systems via changes to their internal institutional logics, norms, and traditions (for example, challenging key normative assumptions around the role of finance and markets: see Nicholls and Murdock ”
• From design experiments to formative interventions (2008, background): “Intervention may be defined simply as “purposeful action by a human agent to create change” (Midgley, 2000, p. 113).”
