Key Research Goals
Integrating resilience discourses through a humanities lens and building a Pluresilience paradigm
- Bring together resilience research across psychology, public health, ecology, public administration, management, and peace studies, and reframe it within an interdisciplinary, humanities-based approach.
- Critically rework resilience concepts that focus on restoration or normalization, and develop a Pluresilience paradigm grounded in the GCSSM values.
Developing solutions for complex vulnerabilities in family-community life and advancing Pluresilience policy
- Theorize emerging forms of connection and crisis response in family-community life shaped by individual and collective vulnerabilities, and develop practical pathways for addressing complex challenges across local and global contexts.
- Identify, document, and disseminate GCSSM-grounded family-community models, and develop policy frameworks that can support sustainable development in communities and at the national level.
Establishing a global hub for Pluresilience research and building a future-oriented training system
- Expand Pluresilience through international research and education programs, advance innovation in humanities-based interdisciplinary resilience research, and position the Institute as a key node in global resilience research networks.
- Build training pathways for future-oriented talent, including specialized researchers, program planners, and field-based organizers, activists, and community leaders, equipped to contribute to solutions across local and global settings.
