Hi

I am hoping this is suitable for the list.

I teach both undergraduate and postgraduate university students about the concepts of vulnerability and resilience. I talk about the shift to the vulnerability paradigm and the subsequent rise of resilience.  I emphasis the contested nature of resilience. Whilst I have lots of sources I don't feel I have a good starting text which I can recommend to help students begin to get to grips with this slippery concept of resilience. Can anyone suggest a textbook or paper which would provide a good starting point for their reading.

Thanks

Tracey.
