S2E1 - The Power of Stories

Welcome back for Season 2 of Disaster: Deconstructed! For the next 20 weeks we will be exploring stories of disaster - what stories do we tell and how? Which voices are privileged or silenced? How are different mediums used to convey messages about disaster? What narratives are central to our discourse? How do people outside of academia discuss disasters?  Joining us today to introduce and frame the season we are so pleased to have Lori Peek on the show! We hope you enjoy the conversation, and the vision for S2. As always, please let us know what you think and engage with the show. We have different special episodes in production or planned, where you can actively participate!   Follow us on Twitter and Instagram @DisastersDecon Join the Community at Discord Subscribe on Apple Podcasts or Spotify!    Further information: Lori's books Behind the Backlash and Children of Katrina Her excellent recent piece highlighting how the most marginalized are forced to "bear" vulnerability Lori and JC Gaillard writing for Nature about the need for a Disaster Research Code of Conduct   Our guests: Lori Peek - https://www.colorado.edu/sociology/lori-peek   Music this week from "Falling Forward" by Kevin Graham.
