2022-08-17: Social Resilience in Complex Systems (Palmer)

Date: Wednesday, August 17, 2022

Speaker: Dr. Erika Palmer is a Senior Lecturer in the Cornell Systems Engineering Program, Professor of Special Programs at Defense Acquisition University

In systems engineering, system resilience is an important area. When social systems are considered in the system of interest, systems engineering can also work with social resilience. Social resilience has a large theoretical foundation in the social sciences, and conceptually, has much to offer systems engineers as they evaluate system resilience. In this talk, Dr. Palmer discusses what social resilience is and how it can be considered as part of systems engineering practice.
