Societal Transformations for a Resilient Future
8 Sep 2022

The symposium aimed to recognise and facilitate synergies amongst researchers and exchange of ideas in the wider fields of humanities and social sciences. It  offered a wide spectrum of inter- and multidisciplinary topics on resilient societies by engaging early career scholars, junior researchers, research fellows and academics.

Resilience – a term often highlighted during the COVID-19 pandemic and in current debates surrounding the impact of climate change and violent conflict – constitutes a highly ambiguous concept, one that nevertheless forms one of the most important needs for societies, impacting international conflict and cooperation, national and local politics, individual and household behavior as well as social interaction.

The topics covered were:

  1. (Public) Health, Bodies and Emotions
  2. Poverty, Inequality and Development
  3. Sustainability and Ecological Crises
  4. Governance, Institutions, State-building and State Failure
  5. Crisis, Conflict, Violence and Trauma
  6. Urbanity and Urbanisation

The German Academic Exchange Service, the Max Weber Forum for South Asian Studies and ICAS:MP Metamorphosis of the Political thank all the experts, scholars and students involved.
