Thanks to Mihir Bhatt for being with us this week! Mihir is the Director of the All India Disaster Mitigation Institute (AIDMI), an organization focused on community-based action planning, action research and advocacy in disaster mitigation. Our conversation focuses on how we can learn so much from those experiencing risk, and how we need to center these people and their capacities rather than always bringing external "knowledge" through teaching and training - "too much schooling, not enough active learning."

So often we think of "community-based" work as being about the location alone, but this week Zenaida Delica-Willison joins us to discuss her life's work of putting the people that live actually in a place at the center of both disaster related decision-making and narratives. We are so pleased to share this interview that gives us a look into her influential and pioneering work on Community-Based Disaster Risk Reduction.

This is the first of a two part series where some of our listeners and friends reflected on the Disaster Studies Manifesto and responded to some questions that we released for open comment. In Part 1, JC Gaillard joins us to listen to the submissions we received and briefly discuss.
We are considering the following questions:
1. Is our current terminology/concepts appropriate for working in a non-Anglophone context?
2. Do our research methodologies serve the needs of those who research and those who are ‘researched’?

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.
