Welcome back to Community Resilience, a podcast created in collaboration with the Ecovillage Resilience 2.5 Degree Project, facilitated by the Global Ecovillage Network.

Join host Eva Goldfarb as she sits down with Allyson Quinlan, a Senior Research Fellow at the Resilience Alliance, where she leads programming on resilience assessment methods and practice.

With an interdisciplinary background in environmental science, Allyson began her career studying ecosystem dynamics of fire and wildlife habitat in northern Canada before focusing on environmental governance of
rural watersheds for her Ph.D. She has co-authored several foundational resilience assessment guides and has extensive international experience leading applied assessment projects in a range of systems. Her work emphasizes community engagement and stakeholder collaboration in building social-ecological resilience. Allyson lives in the Gatineau Hills, where she volunteers to help protect the forests and rivers to which she belongs.

Join us as we dive into her insights on fostering resilient communities and sustainable futures.
