PATHWAYS TO RESILIENCE III: BEYOND NATURE VS. NURTURE | JUNE 16TH - 19TH, 2015
Welcome!
Conference overview
It is with great pleasure that we welcome everyone to Halifax and
the third Pathways to Resilience Conference hosted by the Resilience
Research Centre at Dalhousie University. This is a very special gathering
of academics, practitioners, community advocates, policy makers and
researchers who look at resilience as more than an individual capacity.
The enormous response to this conference with over 40 countries
represented, speaks well to the global enthusiasm we share for a shift
in perspective that celebrates interactions between those who face
adversity and the many people who dedicate their time to making the
world a safer, more supportive place for people to grow. This event
is an effort to understand the many wonderful things families and
communities can do to help people develop their capacities more fully.
As our guests, we wish you a great conference and a wonderful visit to
Halifax.

PATHWAYS TO RESILIENCE III: BEYOND NATURE VS. NURTURE
The Pathways to Resilience III International Conference
will provide an opportunity for participants from around
the world to explore how individuals, families, and
communities from different cultures and contexts can
overcome adversity and thrive.
Our goal for this event is to explore the many ways we think about
resilience around the world and across disciplines. As you take in the
keynote presentations, concurrent plenaries and brief presentations,
network over breaks and meals, and inspire each other through
numerous facilitated conversations, you will have the chance to
consider whether resilience is the result of:
-
Genetics
Cognitions
Behaviour
Services
-
Families, Schools
Community Supports
Social Policy
Or All of the Above

A message from Nova Scotia’s Deputy Minister of Community
Services, Lynn Hartwell:
It is with great pleasure that I extend my
warmest greetings to everyone attending the
Resilience Research Centre’s third conference,
Pathway to Resilience III: Beyond Nature vs.
Nurture, in Halifax, Nova Scotia. As Deputy
Minister of Nova Scotia’s Department of
Community Services, it is my honour to
extend a special welcome to the many of you
who have travelled from out of province and
internationally to join us for this event.
This four day gathering of Canadian and international leaders
in resilience theory and practice should provide collaboration.
I am certain that delegates will benefit greatly from the many
presentations, discussions, and workshops planned for this event,
and that you will leave inspired and prepared to put what you have
learned into practice.
This conference is a fantastic opportunity for you to come together
and share what you know about the processes that make individuals
resilient, and the capacity that families, schools, neighborhoods,
and communities have to nurture well-being. It is also a chance to
explore how best to design interventions, systems, and policies that
nurture and sustain resilience. As such, this event is directly aligned
with my Department’s vision and mandate to ensure that our
children, families, and communities are healthy, safe and reach their

Youth Highlights
Voices FROM
SPACES & PLACES
The Spaces and Places Research Project
explores the ways in which communities
can build better civic and cultural
engagement with youth. The purpose of
Spaces and Places is to conceptualize what
spaces are available to youth that establish
a sense of community and cultural
connection when facing heightened
risks. It also seeks to understand how
these spaces facilitate a sense of cultural
and civic engagement in youth, in turn
fostering resilience. A significant part of
the research involved these youth creating
arts-based dissemination projects to
help give the findings back to local and
broader communities. These projects
include murals, posters, postcards and
spoken word.
The Halifax Youth Honour Choir provides a
challenging choral experience for members,
encouraging girls to increase their level of
music ability and appreciation. It is a program
of Halifax All-City Music and draws singers
from a number of local junior high schools.
Members of the choir enjoy combining
music learning with social activities and team
building, and are forming lasting friendships
in the process.

Keynote Speakers
Bruce Ellis
Wednesday, June 17th: 9:30am - 10:30am
How do exposures to stress, such as repeated or chronic childhood
adversity, affect social and cognitive functioning? The usual answer
to this question highlights impairments to growth, learning, and
behavior. This approach emphasizes “What’s wrong with youth?”
who come from harsh environments. In this talk Dr. Ellis instead
takes a strength-based approach and asks: “What’s right with
these youth?” He will discuss how youth who develop in harsh environments specialize their stress
physiology, social and reproductive development, and cognitive abilities to match high-adversity
contexts. He will also argue that we need to understand the coherent, functional biobehavioral
changes that occur in response to stress over time to better understand the potential cost of these
changes.
Cindy Blackstock
Wednesday, June 17th: 3:35pm - 5:00pm
Supreme Court Justice Frankfurter said “there is no greater inequality
than the equal treatment of unequals.” Individual resilience must be
built on a foundation of equal opportunity and a profound respect for
diversity. In 2007, the Caring Society along with the Assembly of First
Nations filed a human rights complaint alleging Canada’s provision
of First Nations child and family services is discriminatory. It would
take six years before the matter came to a full and public hearing. This historic child rights
case will establish one of the most important legal precedents for children’s law in Canada
and ensure First Nations families have an equal opportunity to safely care for their children.
Ann Masten
Thursday, June 18th: 8:30am - 10:30am
In her keynote lecture, Professor Masten will discuss contemporary
concepts of resilience from the perspective of relational developmental
systems theory. The capacity of individuals to manifest positive
adaptation in the context of serious challenges will be examined in
relation to theory and evidence about the interaction of multiple
systems across levels of function, from epigenetic to social processes.
Individual resilience will be considered in concert with family, community, and other aspects of
ecological resilience. Implications for practice of a dynamic systems view of resilience will be discussed
in light of multiple levels of human interaction and the goal of building resilience and improving the
odds of recovery from major disturbances that can threaten human potential and development.

Catherine Panter-Brick
Friday, June 19th: 3:25pm - 5:00pm
Resilience-focused work offers us a transformative framework to
connect the dots from biology and culture with respect to domains
of health and wellbeing. To illustrate this, I draw on research and
intervention efforts to foster child and family wellbeing in settings
of violence, poverty, or discrimination. These include a global
movement to foster positive changes in early child development
and to build peace in conflict-affected communities, and novel approaches to parenting
interventions to improve family and child outcomes. In my work, I address often-asked questions
such as “how is child and family resilience best promoted across cultures?” or “what do we
know about family dynamics and child development that provide the best leverage points for
intervention?” Resilience has important normative dimensions: communities facing life-long
adversity anchor their goals, decisions, and behaviors in systems of meaning and processes
of decision-making that go far beyond simple consideration of health outcomes and social
functioning. In future work, one challenge includes articulating the cultural ecology and political
economy of resilience together with sound understanding of human biological development.
Joop de Jong
Friday, June 19th: 3:25pm - 5:00pm
Cultural neuroscience may help us to reconcile the nature-nurture
debate by postulating that mankind has developed divergent brains:
differences between groups are not necessarily an epiphenomenon
of culture imposed on one universal brain. PTSD, for example, may
appear to be universal, though research shows that it is not the
primary course of reactivity to trauma and it does not capture the
diversity in trauma reactions around the globe. With regard to resilience, this same thinking
applies. We need to think about resilience as a socio-ecological process that involves wider
systems, especially when studying resilience in post-conflict settings. The clinical staging model
may help us to achieve this, reinventing our thinking about emotions, complaints, symptoms and
psychopathology. It enables us to radically change our thinking about classification and diagnosis,
going beyond the DSM. We need, instead, to develop our capacity to measure changes within and
between complex systems, ranging from methylation and epigenetics to emotional attachment
and political systems. Only then will we determine the most desirable interventions for a socially
nested self that relies on family and community for successful development.

The “Conference Schedules” section in this program is divided into
two parts. The first part, “Conference at a Glance”, provides general
information as to what the events are, where they are happening, and
at what time. The “Detailed Schedule” section gives more specific
information on facilitated discussions, paper presentations, and poster
presentations, but excludes abstracts, co-presenters and bios. This
information can all be found in the online version:
Online
Thanks to the event organizing software Sched, the entire conference
schedule, with presentation overviews and abstracts, is available online
on all of your devices. This software allows us to effectively keep you
up to date, make last minute changes to the schedule, and access the
information in an easier way. It also allows you to organize and create
your own personal schedule of conference events as well as create a
profile to help you network and connect with other conference goers.
Please follow the links below to access the schedule.
www.pathwaystoresilience.sched.org
A NOTE ON FACILITATED DISCUSSIONS
Facilitated Discussions bring together three or four presenters who are asked
to help start a conversation about a topic related to the conference theme: the
social ecology of resilience. Rather than full papers, the goal here is to briefly
present one or two thoughts about one’s work, and then get a conversation
going that continues beyond the session.
Presenters are asked to strictly limit themselves to between 5 and 7 minutes
to introduce their work. Here are some suggestions:
• Introduce yourself very briefly (where you work and the population
your work is meant to help).
• Introduce your research, topic of interest, or practice area. Tell people
only what they need to know. Remember, your biography is online

• Tell people the most important one, or two, things that you have
learned through your work. What is the most interesting thing you’ve
discovered?
• Share with people an article, brochure, website address, or other
document that will direct them where they can learn more about you
and what you do. Feel free to bring handouts for 20-30 people.
• Finish on time so everyone can present. That way there will still be time
for audience members to ask questions and share their experiences.
A volunteer will help keep you on time, raising signs that tell you when you
have spoken for 5 minutes, 6 minutes, and finally, when to wrap up and pass
the floor to the next presenter.
If you have not received access to Sched please e-mail: [email protected]
or see Amber Raja at the registration desk.

PATHWAYS TO RESILIENCE III: BEYOND NATURE VS. NURTURE
It has been said, perhaps by Samuel Johnson, or maybe by Mark Twain, that
one writes long letters only because they did not have the time to write a
short one. It is certainly more difficult to speak eloquently for 7 minutes than
it is to speak for 30. Please try to keep in mind the goal of these discussions is
to spur dialogue.
Thank you for participating.
