This panel brings together the editors and contributors to the American Historical Review’s forthcoming special issue on histories of resilience. The annual digital-only special issue of the AHR is designed to advance innovative themes, approaches, and methods to the past that can contribute to reshaping contemporary historical practice. Histories of resilience inaugurates this new platform, exploring how and why communities have fostered resilience along with its multiple formations as they negotiated conditions of chronic adversity, catastrophes, and structural economic and racial inequalities. Contributors to the special issue, who work across a variety of spatial and temporal contexts, offer more traditional articles as well as work in digital history. The session puts them in conversation with the editorial team for the special issue and the audience.
