From 23-28 February 2025, a Drylands Summer School ‘explored local constructs of resilience [from below] in the face of shocks and uncertainties in the drylands.’ Co-organized by the Center for Research and Development in the Drylands, the Jameel Observatory for Food Security Early Action and Tufts University, students examined how resilience has been understood and applied in drylands, developing insights and skills to engage with pastoral contexts.
