Resilience has surged in importance within the social sciences, reflecting its role in navigating adversity and fostering communication amidst challenges. In an unpredictable world, understanding how individuals, organisations, communities, and systems adapt and recover is crucial. Resilience sheds light on building sustainable solutions, promoting mental well-being and social capital, and enhancing societal cohesion. Moreover, it emphasizes effective communication strategies, facilitating the exchange of ideas, support networks, and collective action in the face of complexity.
The satellite event aims to establish research and teaching collaboration on RESILIENCE and its role in sustainable social transformation. It is planned in collaboration between the Departments of Strategic Communication of the University of Johannesburg and Lund University, but it welcomes contributors from other subject backgrounds.
