A new Lund University Social Sciences Research Area has obtained funding from the Faculty of Social Sciences, Lund University to consolidate as a strong research area:
On Crisis Inequalities and Social Resilience (CISR):
This proposed strong research area in Crisis Inequalities and Social Resilience (CISR) arises from collaboration organically developed over time between the Initiative for Research on Social Resilience and the Society for Critical Studies of Crisis (SCSC), Faculty of Social Sciences at Lund University. The collaboration has provided important research thanks to a series of international webinars; conceptual and methodological workshops; and peer-reviewed publications. Our strong research area consolidates a range of senior and early career researchers, who through their combined expertise apply a critical lens for identifying and analyzing the entanglements between social resilience, crisis, and socio-economic inequalities. In this proposed strong research area, we respond to an ethical call for critique of local and global inequities, as enmeshed with uneven distribution of resources, unequal opportunities, and skewed rights in crisis circumstances and thereby also engage with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). CISR connects to research conducted at the various departments under the Faculty of Social Sciences and, therefore, holds promise of long-lasting broad scholarly support, excellence in both breadth and depth, and high-level scientific and societal impact. The CISR activities are open (see separate post).
