Workshop on Resilience, realities and research in African Environments, Jesus College, University of Oxford, 18 of June 2007
While there is a growing mainstream focus on ideas of ‘resilience’, different disciplines and stakeholders have adopted the concepts in diverse ways for research, development practice and governance. By building on the existing wealth of interdisciplinary experience within Oxford, as well as bringing together different stakeholders and researchers from Africa and beyond, we hope to make a contribution to the emergent debate on theory, process and application of resilience in development.
