"Resilience in an Age of Polarization”
Everywhere we turn we seem to face crisis and polarization. In a complex and ever-accelerating world how can we navigate the challenges of today and the future? Resilience has become a popular concept to help us address these challenges. And yet the typical understanding of resilience as a return to some status quo is illusory since everything is always changing. Instead, we must cultivate a more nuanced resilience that allows us to learn and grow through disruption. In this session, Dean Bell shares some lessons drawn from his research related to systems thinking, ecology, ethics, and Jewish Studies.
