S6E3 - Insiders and Outsiders

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.
