Resilience Theory and Practice

Catalog description

Resiliency has emerged as a central concept across a wide variety of fields including: city planning, policy analysis, human security, economics, natural resource and environmental management, public services, infrastructure planning, engineering, technology innovation, and indeed any field dealing with rapidly changing systems. Students unpack and apply ideas in resiliency theory to a broad range of fields of practice, link new theory with application, and gain real world experience in applying these concepts. Students examine resiliency as a general concept, critique the concept as a management approach, and focus on concrete applications.
