Investigators

Each site includes a small advisory committee of two to three local individuals who can help to identify appropriate ways to access youth, help to define the construct of resilience, and oversee the ethical application of the research in their community.

Methods

The Negotiating Resilience project is using an innovative combination of visual methods, observation, qualitative interviews and reciprocity between researchers and youth to deepen our understandings of resilience from children and youth’s own cultural and contextual viewpoints.

Participants

Sixteen 13 to 16 year old youth, one boy and one girl from eight research sites (Nova Scotia, Quebec, Saskatchewan, British Columbia, China, India, South Africa and Thailand) where youth are facing more than one 'tension' or 'adversity' in their communities, participated in the study.

Goal

The project has several goals; from documenting a plurality of protective processes in the lives of youth to developing a set of qualitative protocols for gathering visuals methods data.

Introduction

Negotiating Resilience investigates the highly intricate and interactive nature of the processes that protect youth whose lives are in transition and who feel 'out of place' in some way, against adversity. While the team explored the tensions between homogeneity and heterogeneity of wellbeing among youth in transition, the emphasis was on capturing the variability of young people's experiences as case-studies, rather than focusing on comparing data across the sites.

Resilience, Adaptive Peacebuilding and Transitional Justice (2021)

Processes of post-war reconstruction, peacebuilding and reconciliation are partly about fostering stability and adaptive capacity across different social systems. Nevertheless, these processes have seldom been expressly discussed within a resilience framework. Similarly, although the goals of transitional justice – among them (re)establishing the rule of law, delivering justice and aiding reconciliation – implicitly encompass a resilience element, transitional justice has not been explicitly theorised as a process for building resilience in communities and societies that have suffered large-scale violence and human rights violations. The chapters in this unique volume theoretically and empirically explore the concept of resilience in diverse societies that have experienced mass violence and human rights abuses. They analyse the extent to which transitional justice processes have – and can – contribute to resilience and how, in so doing, they can foster adaptive peacebuilding. This book is available as Open Access.
