Reimagining Resilience: Flourishing in a Changing World
Share
The Ideas Festival is a month-long showcase of the latest insights and contributions from social science and humanities researchers in Singapore. Our theme for 2026 is Reimagining Resilience: Flourishing in a Changing World, which explores how people, communities, and systems can adapt and thrive amid profound technological, cultural, and societal change.
Resilience is a topic that matters to every field in the social sciences and humanities. As part of the festival, LASALLE and NAFA will present six events spanning three thematic categories, each focused on different questions and aspects of resilience:
