S4E9 - Coloniality & Disasters

This week Jason & Ksenia kick off the second half of the season (which will focus on the Global South) with a conversation about coloniality and disasters with Dr Danielle Rivera, Assistant Professor of Environmental Design at the University of Colorado Boulder and Director of the Just Environments Lab. Join us as we focus on the problems with "event-centric" narratives of disaster that do not reflect the fact that disaster impacts are shaped by structural violence.

S4E8 - Vulnerability (Audience Special)

Today we bring you a long-promised AUDIENCE SPECIAL on vulnerability!
We asked you a while back, a) What does vulnerability mean to you? and b) Is vulnerability a useful concept? Does it allow us to frame places and people we wish to prioritise?
Thank you all so much for thinking about these questions, and we are glad that many of you got back to us!  Ksenia, Jason & Darien framed today's conversation around the responses received and we hope that this episode can be a conversation starter on another contested concept in disaster studies.
