Thanks for joining us again as we explore solidarity!
Today we are joined by Kim Fortun, a Professor in the University of California Irvine’s Department of Anthropology. Her work focuses on environmental risk and disaster, and on experimental ethnographic methods and research design. You may know her from the Disaster-STS Research Network or as past-President of the Society for Social Studies of Science. Kim is also one of the editors of the new Journal of Disaster Studies that we have mentioned on Disasters: Deconstructed!
We hope you enjoy this discussion on justice, research methods and ethics, and how to collaborate better.

Today we continue our explorations under the theme of solidarity! We are so pleased to be in conversation with Dr. Alexandre Christoyannopoulos, who is a Reader in Politics and International Relations at Loughborough University. Alex’s research focuses on religious anarchism and increasingly anarcho-pacifism, he is the Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Pacifism and Nonviolence, and he is the author of a recently published book ‘Tolstoy's Political Thought: Christian Anarcho-Pacifist Iconoclasm Then and Now’.
Hope you enjoy our discussion of anarchism, Tolstoy, and non-violence!

S7E4 - The Invention of Disaster
Wednesday Nov 30, 2022
Wednesday Nov 30, 2022
Today we are joined by our friend and sometimes co-host JC Gaillard to discuss his recently published book, The Invention of Disaster!In it he argues that there isn’t such a thing as a disaster because our current understanding of disasters is a subjective interpretation of suffering, harm and damage that allows those in power to draw a line between what is acceptable and what is not. We discuss what he calls ‘epistemological nonsense’ and it gets very philosophical as we get into critical-Left theory - Foucault to Latour, to Derrida, to Spivak, Said and Gramsci!! Join us :)

About Disasters: Deconstructed
Jason and Ksenia bring you regular content reflecting on human society from diverse disciplinary and ideological perspectives to understand why disasters really happen.
There is no other podcast centering the most marginalized in disasters-a “people’s” story; recurring themes are structural violence, inequality, injustice, resistance and organizing.
