This is the second part of our discussion with Dr JC Gaillard about capacities. Please listen to the previous Episode (S1E7) first if you haven't yet!
Today we dig deeper into the role of power in determining responsibility for vulnerability reduction or capacity enhancement. What about cultural contexts where we are outsiders? Can we presume to be acting ethically?
Also, Jason has some spare time to monologue ;)

The knowledge, skills and resources that people can draw on and share to help deal with hazards and disasters - their capacities -must be central to any coherent strategy.
Could it be smarter to put efforts into building capacities rather than reducing vulnerabilities?
Today we talk to Dr JC Gaillard in the first of 2 episodes on capacity/capacities.

In part 3 of "Disaster Ingredients" we are talking exposure with Ksenia's colleague Dr Lee Bosher from Loughborough University.
Living in a location prone to disaster is not only something that is forced on the most marginalized. In many cases, those with the MOST resources in society choose to live in a place that will probably experience hazards. But, as we discuss with Lee, this does not mean that major disasters affect everyone the same way. Tune in for a really interesting chat!
Looking ahead, next week we will be joined by Dr JC Gaillard for a yarn about another critical concept in disaster studies; CAPACITY.

Welcome to part 2 of "Disaster Ingredients"! Today we are discussing vulnerability with Dr Joanne Jordan from the Institute for Development Policy and Management at the University of Manchester in the UK.
We talk about her efforts as an environmental social scientist working at the interface of climate change, poverty and complex notions of risk, mostly in Bangladesh. The vulnerability concept entails much more than a word synonymous with weakness - check out this episode to find out more!
Next week we will be back with Dr Lee Bosher to investigate exposure!
