The annual Resilience Alliance (RA) short course is a collaboration of the Resilience Alliance network and ResNet (www.nsercresnet.ca). In 2022, the course will be taught online by international experts and attended by post-graduate students (Masters and PhD) and post-doctoral researchers from around the world.
The purpose of this exciting one-week course is to draw on the expertise of scholars in the RA network to teach about resilience as conceptualized and studied by RA scholars and to facilitate collaboration among a broader network of students and researchers. Approximately 25 applicants will be accepted to participate in this course.
2022 THEME: Resilience Assessment and Methods
In 2022 the course will focus on resilience assessment and related social-ecological systems methods. Drawing on The Routledge Handbook of Research Methods for Social-Ecological Systems, the course will offer a unique opportunity to learn directly from many of the researchers who contributed to the book as chapter authors. Topics will include: the evolution of resilience assessment, data needs and opportunities for assessing the resilience of systems, future scenarios and resilience assessment, systems scoping, and dynamic systems modelling.
FORMAT
The five-day immersive course will be asynchronous with two online sessions daily coupled with offline readings, presentations, and a group project. Participants will meet with instructors in plenary and in small groups for two 75-minute sessions between the hours of 11:00am - 2:00pm EST each day.
