Abstract
Despite over half a century of resilience research and practice, dominant narratives around childhood resilience remain focused on capabilities and compliance at the expense of systemic oppression. Within this, children and young people from marginalised and displaced communities who adopt ‘resistance’ and ‘defiance’ strategies in the face of discrimination and adversity are accused of lacking in resilience. Viewing resilience through an interdisciplinary lens, this talk provides new ways of looking at childhood resilience and wellbeing, through coproduction with children and young people from marginalised and displaced communities, centralising lived experiences and counter-voices, and making recommendations for practice in education and beyond.
