Tuesday Apr 13, 2021
Thanks so much to Barbara Carby for joining us this week! Barbara is Director of Disaster Risk Reduction Centre at the University of the West Indies, Mona Campus and the former Director General of the Office of Disaster Preparedness and Emergency Management in Jamaica. We discuss DRR mainstreaming in the Caribbean and how states support each other and leverage their capacities in solidarity, as well as misconceptions about the region and labelling people as "resilient" or "vulnerable".

This week we welcome Belen Desmaison, a lecturer and researcher at the Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú (PUCP). She is coordinator of the action-research project CASA (Ciudades Auto-Sostenibles Amazónicas) and researches resettlement processes, sustainable and resilient urban and architectural design, and the generation of socially and environmentally just habitats. So excited to share this conversation about feminist urbanism, environmental and spatial justice and development in the Amazon.
