Social Resilience & Migration: Conceptual Connections

“Every time you say, ‘Oh, they’re so resilient,’ that means you can do something else to me.”

A poster “Stop calling me RESILIENT” by Tracie Washington that she presented in the street of New Orleans in 2005.

Social Resilience: A Primer for All

Social Resilience: A Primer for Everyone is a pocket guide that emphasizes the importance of the “social” resilience as a vital component of holistic well-being. With ABC of social resilience this primer teaches readers—children and adults alike—how to survive and thrive together.

“Defining social resilience as an ability or capacity restricts our knowledge of the social experiences and practices… that contribute to resilience as a diverse and contextualized phenomenon. Understanding resilience as a dynamic context-specific process can help to represent a phenomenological pattern of social resilience that is more comparable to the life-course perspective.”
