> The concept of resilience is proving useful across a range of sectors to understand and respond to a fast-changing and surprising world. Resilience thinking includes the ability to persist in the face of challenges, adapt to new realities, or transform to fundamentally new paths for development.

> "Transforming Development: The Science and Practice of Resilience Thinking" targets development practitioners and those interested in sustainable development issues to explore how concepts from resilience may help us rethink how development is currently done in practice. With more than 30 lectures from 31 researchers and practitioners, we will explore topics such as: the role of social innovation and transformation, the changing nature of global and local linkages, and how we collectively imagine fundamentally different futures.
