Are you interested in radical ways of researching and practising resilience that put social justice, systems and community members’ leadership and priorities right at the heart? We are developing community and professional practices based on our Beating the Odds and Changing the Odds research. Our conference will focus on resilience approaches that tackle inequalities and apply ‘socio-ecological systems’ thinking, which takes into account families, schools and wider communities in terms of resilience building. Expect to see challenges to resilience approaches that are dominated by academics and policy makers suggesting we should all just pull ourselves up by our boot straps.
