Public Lecture – Reconsidering Resilience in Educational Contexts
26th November 2020
This talk will present and discuss the recently published ‘Dynamic, Interactive Model of Resilience’ (DIMoR).
Adeela, Tristan, Sian, Paul and Rick, all from the School of Education and Humanities, will show how this understanding of resilience includes the ideas of agency and self-determinism and expresses resilience as an emergent quality that is contingent on time and context and the result of interactions.
The event, on Monday 7 December, will refer to their new book which, drawing on research from a range of educational settings, demonstrates that the resilience of individuals and their surrounding systems should not be viewed in isolation and that the interplay between individual resilience, community resilience and resilient societies is complex and symbiotic.
They argue that the DIMoR can be used to help analyse contexts in order to support resilience in a way which moves beyond a reductionist, ‘within individual’, descriptive and ‘fashionable’ presentation of resilience. The book has a unique and innovative feature on its cover which allows the reader to see the Dynamic Interactive Model of Resilience (DIMoR) in full Augmented Reality (after a simple app download).
