Resilience

The “Art of Resilience”,  is a joint project with the International Centre for Comparative Criminology (CICC), University of Montreal and the Global Risk Governance programme, Faculty of Law, University of Cape Town.

The aim of the project is to understand how security professionals, broadly understood, are responding to disruptive and unanticipated events associated with the Anthropocene and cyberspace.

The project is supported by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC)
