Welcome back to Disasters: Deconstructed! As we continue Season 6 today we are joined by Vanicka Arora and Nimesh Dhungana to discuss insiders and outsiders in disaster research and practice. It's something that has been central to narratives informing the Disaster Studies Manifesto and the Disaster Studies Accord.
In each of their papers for the (double) Special Issue of Disaster Prevention & Management Journal, “Emerging voices and pathways to inclusive disaster studies”, Vanicka and Nimesh share personal experiences of being both insiders and outsiders, and how they navigate power relationships in disaster fieldwork. Check out their work at the links below!

Today we are pleased to share a conversation with Sneha Krishnan, Susie Goodall, and Anuszka Mosurska, which invited us to reflect on our own positionality and its impact on what we do and how we do it in the context of research!
In each of their papers for the (double) Special Issue of Disaster Prevention & Management Journal, “Emerging voices and pathways to inclusive disaster studies”, their voices, experiences and influence (+ those of co-authors) were prominent and were part of the dialogue.
Listen in to hear why Sneha, Susie and Anuszka believe that positionality is important!

We are so happy to wish you all a Happy New Year and welcome you back for Season 6 of Disasters:Deconstructed!!! We are again very excited to spend time with you again - or for the first time - as we explore why disasters really happen.
Our new season is focused on a cadre of emerging researchers that are challenging the sacred cows of (disaster) research. The season came about through our engagement with Disaster Prevention & Management Journal and the forthcoming Special Issue on “Emerging voices and pathways to inclusive disaster studies”.
Today we welcome the editors of the special issue, Eefje Hendriks, Laura Kmoch, Femke Mulder & Ricardo Fuentealba, to discuss their vision for this body of work. This will help us to position the season as a whole. In the coming weeks we will speak to many of the contributing authors!

We are really excited to release this special episode we recorded with the incredible conceptual artist Paula Morison! It touches on a lot of themes common to Disasters: Deconstructed, in the way that narratives are represented and discussed but we found it amazing to just listen to the thought process behind some of Paula's work. What might be possible if disaster science was more collaborative with the arts? Enjoy!

This week we are joined by the creator of the epic Twitter account @PlaguePoems, Zachary Loeb, to discuss his research on the Y2K scare and more broadly technological reliance, narratives of destruction and technocratic fixes that obscure social and political root causes of disaster. Hope you all enjoy it!

This week we discuss communication for social change with two scholars who engage deeply with the work of Paulo Freire, and consider the potential for disaster studies to reflect on the legacy of Freire, and public scholarship and education more broadly. Thanks to Dr Ana Cristina Suzina and Prof Thomas Tufte for sharing such incredible insights!

Today it's our great pleasure to release our latest AUDIENCE SPECIAL! We asked our audience, Is there anything wrong with framing disaster as “events”? Why/why not?
Thank you all so much for thinking about this question, and we are glad that many of you got back to us! Ksenia & Jason frame 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. Indeed, what is a disaster?!!

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.
