As a strong research area, CISR is committed to advancing interdisciplinary, high-impact research on crisis inequalities and social resilience. Building on our existing work, we will further establish a leading hub for cutting-edge scholarship, fostering collaborations across the Faculty and beyond. This will create a sustainable research environment that brings together scholars at various career stages to deepen understanding of how societies respond to crises.
Our research will continue to generate novel insights into the unequal capacities for resilience—examining how some groups carve out new possibilities in crisis, while others face socio-economic and political marginalisation. Ethical considerations will remain central, particularly in addressing disparities in access to resources, opportunities, and rights that shape resilience in times of upheaval.
In an era of polycrisis, CISR plays a crucial role in reinvigorating discussions around the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and their relevance to global resilience strategies. As crisis and resilience studies gain urgency both in Sweden and internationally, we will strengthen our engagement with policy institutions, funding bodies, and international research networks, ensuring that our work informs and shapes responses to contemporary global challenges.
CISR’s consolidation as a strong research area will provide a robust foundation for securing long-term funding, expanding interdisciplinary partnerships, and positioning the Faculty as a leader in crisis and resilience research. Our commitment to methodological innovation and cross-disciplinary dialogue will ensure continued national and international impact, supporting sustainable and forward-looking research initiatives.
