Beschreibung

The RE-CARE network is currently planning its #3 conference “Resilient Societies in Times of Uncertainty”, taking place 18-19 March 2027 at Kyoto University, with the generous support of the philosopher and ethicist Prof. Dr. Satoshi Kodama from Kyoto. The conference aims to bring together researchers who engage with questions of societal resilience in times of crisis, spanning conceptual and theoretical foundations as well as practical implementation across fields such as health, technology, sport, society, philosophy, and communication. Potential research questions include: • How can resilient societies be shaped in the face of multiple, overlapping crises? • How is resilience empirically and theoretically studied and how can is be measured? • How do discursive polarisation, misinformation, and the logics of technological platforms shape crisis perceptions and responses? • What role do technologies such as AI, data infrastructures, and robotics play in fostering societal resilience – as resources, but also as risks and as objects of social, ethical, and legal regulation? • How can strategies for resilience be developed that systematically account for inequalities related to factors such as age, gender, socioeconomic position, and migration background? The conference is planned around five key areas, including Pandemic Preparedness, AI, Online Communication, Legal Aspects, and Theoretical as well as Ethical concepts of resilience.
