Call for Abstracts: Special Session "Governing Systemic Risks with Morally Sensitive Resilience Strategies"; deadline 1 August, 2020
*** Apologies for cross-posting *** <br> <br> <br> <br>Conference - Interconnected: Resilience Innovations for Sustainable <br>Development Goals <br> <br>Jointly organized by the 4TU Centre for Resilience <br>Engineering and the Future Resilient <br>Systems programme of the <br>Singapore-ETH Centre. <br> <br> <br> <br> <br>As part of the online Joint International Resilience Conference, we are <br>hosting a <br> <br> <br>Special Session: Governing Systemic Risks with Morally Sensitive Resilience <br>Strategies <br>Emerging realities, such as climate change or an increased social <br>connectivity, lend increased relevance to systemic risks -uncertain threats, <br>or threats with uncertain outcomes, affecting complex systems interconnected <br>at various scales. According to an influential OECD report (2003), systemic <br>risks pose challenges to traditional management methods, thus demanding new <br>approaches that combine a qualitative analysis of interdependencies, <br>decentralized capabilities, and greater emphasis on learning and remaining <br>adaptable through emergencies and recovery. <br>Resilience has increasingly become a dominant concept in grounding these new <br>strategies for systemic risk management, in domains from national security to <br>development. Such strategies, however, raise important risk-related moral <br>concerns. First, a one-sided focus on adapt-and-recovery may lead to a neglect <br>of other phases in the risk management cycle, and even foster greater <br>tolerance to harms inflicted on the most vulnerable; yet, there is little <br>reflection on how resilience may improve disaster prevention or vulnerability <br>reduction. <br>Such justice issues are especially pressing when one considers that the urban <br>functions typically deemed "critical" need not be located in vulnerable areas. <br>Further, resilience and sustainability may involve opposing epistemological <br>assumptions and normative orientations, which raises questions on whether -and <br>how- resilience building can converge with the Sustainable Development Goals. <br> <br>Session organizers: <br>Jose Caizares Gaztelu, Samantha Copeland, and Neelke Doorn (Delft University <br>of Technology) <br> <br>Relevant dates: <br> <br>- Deadline for abstract submission: 1 Augustus, 2020 <br> <br>- Decision on acceptance: Mid-September, 2020 <br> <br>- Deadline registration: 15 November, 2020 <br> <br>- Conference: 23 - 27 November, 2020 <br> <br> <br>The complete call for abstracts can be found here: <br>https://www.aanmelder.nl/resilience-conference-2020/callabstracts. <br> <br> <br>Prof.dr.mr.ir.
