Invitation to Webinar in Climate Justice and ALE series on 24/25 May 2021

Updated: May 30, 2021

Co-hosted by PIMA, ALA, CASAE and SCUTREA


Resilience or rebellion? Exploring ‘resilience’ and climate justice: challenges for ALE


In these times of extreme precarity, a new buzzword is ‘resilience’. In combination

with adjectives resilience means many dierent things to dierent constituencies

across the natural and social sciences, ranging from absorptive to adaptive;

restorative to transformative resilience. This webinar explores dierent interpretations

of resilience and outlines a variety of resilience capacities in the context of climate

justice. We pose the questions: how do we as adult educators understand and utilise

the concept of ‘resilience’? What understandings of `resilience’ are most useful and

generative in the collective struggles towards climate justice?


Host: Shirley Walters, PIMA President


Moderators: Joy Polanco O’Neil and Astrid von Kotze
