She teaches nonprofit management and development practice at Regis University in Denver and economics and business for the Wilmette Institute in Chicago. She has been blind since birth.  

Jean’s interest in resilience came from her work as a journalist reporting from throughout the world on social development and human rights. In 2012, Jean undertook her doctoral research on emergency preparedness education through community radio in North Indian villages and was awarded her Ph.D. in integral development from the Da Vinci Institute of South Africa in 2016. Her book “Emergency Preparedness Through Community Cohesion: An Integral Approach To Resilience published by Routledge UK, is available on Bookshare. Today’s discussion will focus on what it means to be resilient as blind people and how our strategies of resilience can contribute to resilience in policy planning and in our communities.
