We are excited to announce a book discussion event for Resilience and the Wandering Subject, set for October 18, 2024, from 7:30-8:30 PM. Edited by Supriya Daniel and Anu Kuriakose, this thought-provoking volume delves into the evolving concept of the "wandering subject" as it applies to resilience, traversing identity, place, and socio-cultural transitions. The book offers a unique framework for understanding resilience, making it invaluable to scholars across fields such as sociology, psychology, and cultural studies. FInd out more on the event's flyer here.
In a world where the definitions of identity and resilience are constantly shifting, Resilience and the Wandering Subject uses a multi-author approach to explore how people adapt and redefine themselves amid change. The book provides insights into the complexities of the subject by examining various global and theoretical perspectives. Scholars will find this text essential for understanding resilience not just as a response to adversity but as a continuous and dynamic reconfiguration of the self across different contexts.
