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?!!

Welcome back for Season 5!!!  We are so glad to see you again - or for the first time - as we explore why disasters really happen. 

Today we give some context to the new season, and then sit down with the amazing storyteller/engineer/professor David Prevatt to discuss disaster risk and colonized peoples, and how professionals can ethically be a part of community-centered social change.
