Societal evolution is ever-changing and it can be trying to keep up with the times. So, this week on Bouncing Back: The Personal Resilience Science Insights Podcast, host Marie Stella is joined by women and gender studies researcher Dr. Karen Graaff to learn more about how riding the waves of social change can contribute to our personal resilience — and vice versa.
Based at the University of the Western Cape in South Africa, Dr. Karen Graaff is a research associate in the Women's and Gender Studies department. Most recently, her research has examined surfing as a tool for social change, as well as podcasting as a form of public and oral scholarship. Additionally, Dr. Karen Graaff co-hosts a podcast with Dr. Glen Thompson, looking at social issues in the global South, using surfing as an entry point to a broader discussion.
In this episode, Dr. Karen Graaff sheds light on the relationship between personal resilience and social adversity, addressing factors such as privilege and marginalization, and how they may influence an individual’s ability to navigate social change.
Together, Marie and Dr. Karen Graaff discuss the importance of community in persevering through social adversity and explore various habits that may help to strengthen one’s resilience. So, tune in this week for an episode that will equip you with the tools and knowledge to thrive in a world of constant change!
