Canadian Sites

  • Halifax, Nova Scotia
      Halifax, the capital of the Canadian province of Nova Scotia, is a port city located on the east coast of the country. We are working with youth from two areas in the Halifax Regional Municipality (HRM). Our Halifax site brings us access to youth who are living in government-supported housing or with families who are struggling to make ends meet.
  • Montreal, Quebec
      The city of Montréal lies between the Ottawa and St. Lawrence Rivers. Our research site in Montreal allows us to work with youth with visual impairments in integrated education programs who confront a number of challenges.
  • Saskatoon, Saskatchewan
      Saskatoon is centrally located in the prairie province of Saskatchewan, Canada. Our research site in Saskatoon allows us to connect with aboriginal youth living off-reserve.
  • Vancouver, British Colombia
      Vancouver, British Columbia’s largest city and the third largest metropolitan area in Canada, is situated on the Pacific coast. Our research site in Vancouver provides us access to Mexican immigrant and refugee youth.

International Sites

  • Jinan, China
      Jinan, the capital city of Shandong province is located along the bank of the Yellow River. The main risks that youth face in China include the greater gap between rich and poor; the negative impact of internet and TV; divorce; and left-home children and migrant children.
  • Guwahati, India
      Guwahati, the largest city in the North-East region (NER) of India, is one of the most rapidly growing cities in India. North-East India has experienced political uncertainty and violent unrest in recent years.
  • Vaal Triangle, South Africa
      The Vaal Triangle is a major industrial region approximately one hour South of Johannesburg that straddles the Vaal River. The site provides us access to youth affected in a myriad of ways by poverty and the struggle to make ends meet in a location experiencing both increasing gentrification and increasing poverty.
  • Chiang Mai, Thailand
      Chiang Mai is the largest city in northern Thailand, and is the capital of Chiang Mai Province.  In this research site we connect with youth who have been displaced from their homes.

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.
