• Justice at the interface: advancing community and health system resilience through intersectionality theory (2026) · Health Policy and Planning · doi

  Current approaches to health system resilience tend to prioritize system-level outcomes, overlooking key social processes and contexts. There is a lack of methodological guidance on how to capture the complex interaction between community and health system resilience. The paper identifies a gap in understanding the underlying social processes and power dynamics that shape community resilience and health system resilience interactions.

• Spatial justice and resilience: Unpacking community responses to lockdown policies in Lagos (2026) · Urban Studies · doi

  The paper identifies a gap in the literature, highlighting the need for a novel approach to community resilience that addresses the inherent injustices of interventions. The study notes that existing approaches to resilience building may entrench unequal power roles among actors. The gap is characterized by the lack of a clear framework for reordering resilience capacities to address long-standing disadvantages.

  Four threads cut across the clusters. First, resilience is a relational property connecting networks, institutions and communities, with emergent behaviour that no single disciplinary lens captures. Second, the method pluralism here, from indicators and network simulations to GPS traces, difference-in-differences designs and place-based narratives, is the signature of the topic rather than a weakness: coupled socio-technical systems demand coupled methods, and privileging one family hides parts of the phenomenon. Third, gaps remain in distributional evaluation, in cross-scale governance from
