We are so pleased to bring you this discussion with 5 wonderful Italian disaster researchers about the work - Giuseppe Forino, Fabio Carnelli, Isabella Tomassi, Angelo Imperiale and Gianmaria Valent.

This week we are so pleased to sit down with Jamie Vickery to discuss how disasters affect people experiencing homelessness, and some of the deeper issues at play that are too often overlooked. We cover emergency response, policy, trust and narratives, and consider how we might challenge a culture that normalizes homelessness as a cautionary tale.

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.
