A three year project consisting of a series of conferences, workshops and publications focused on literary and cultural engagements with resilience. My individual contributions consist of conference papers focused on Anishnaabeg writer Leanne Simpson's short stories and Indigenous conceptions of resilience, and art and resilience in Rita Wong and Larissa Lai's long poem, sybil unrest. These may be assembled into essay collections, and will eventually be revised for inclusion in a monograph, titled The Age of Resilience: Telling Stories about Global Change.
Impact
Contribution to scholarly and policy conversations about resilience from the perspective of the humanities
Student Experience
The project will inform internationalization of the curriculum, as well as helping to develop research projects that will lead to applications for SSHRC Insight and Connections grants, which will have graduate RA components built in.
