August 17th, 2022 | In this article, Dr. Maria Martin de Almagro and Dr. Pol Bargu茅s identify that resilience has often been reduced to an egalitarian project鈥攚here mechanical policies and schemes are deployed to ameliorate the conditions of women, enhance their participation in decision-making and pursue the equality between women and men鈥攖o advance in sustaining peace. By engaging with the feminist writings of Elizabeth Grosz, as well as indigenous feminist practices in Liberia, they nurture a feminism that affirms the agency and inventiveness of women to begin to reimagine resilience as difference: a resilience that thrives outside governance structures and the confines of neoliberal policymaking.
