Abstract

Resilience is commonly understood as a way to characterize the ability of a system to absorb shocks and maintain functions, as well as the capacity for renewal, reorganization, and development. Higher education is clearly at the center of these conversations, guiding training, theory, research, and practice. In this introduction to the special symposium on Pace University’s water resilience conference, we consider the role of academia in bringing new knowledge to resilience discourses and the responsibility these institutions have in examining and critiquing the politics of resilience governance. Our goal for this introduction is to link manuscripts written by professors, researchers, and collaborators to the broader literature while making the argument that colleges and universities must not only contribute to resilience studies, but we must also help reimagine these ideas and the systems we deem to make more resilient.
