Managing uncertainty
Purpose This article aims to explore how group-based assignments can contribute to education as sustainability. More specifically, it investigates how the tasks completed as part of group-based assignments contribute to the development of students’ interpersonal competencies in sustainability-focused education. Design/methodology/approach A case study methodology was used to analyse students’ responses to group-based assignments in three sustaina…
Balat, Maskara, at Wika
Ang punang ito ay tungkol sa karanasan ng may-akda na dayuhan at kung bakit naging abnormal siya dahil marunong siyang mag-Filipino at Kapampangan sa bansang Pilipinas. Samakatwid, ang pinakatanong ng artikulong ito ay ano ba talaga ang pamantayan at normal sa relasyon ng Pilipinx at dayuhang puti pag dating sa wika? Sa karanasan ng may-akda, naging sentido kumon na normal ang mag-Ingles at abnormal ang mag-Filipino at mag-iba pang katutubong wik…
What’s “holding back change”? Opportunities and challenges for the ‘participation’ and ‘inclusion’ of people with diverse Sogiesc in disaster risk reduction
Using the inclusion of people with diverse sexual orientations, gender identity/expression, and sexual characteristics (SOGIESC) in DRR and humanitarian policy and action as a case in point, this paper intends to explore some of the opportunities and challenges for participatory projects to generate more sustainable and inclusive DRR practices. More specifically, it intends to unpack the drivers and obstacles to such ‘inclusion’ in the light of t…
The multiple environmentalities of conservation mapping in Patagonia-Aysén
In this paper, we mobilise a multiple environmentalities framework that captures overlapping rationalities of governing nature to engage and identify the role of maps and mapping practices in Patagonia-Aysén, Chile, a peripheral region where government and institutional actors have embraced (eco)tourism as a conservation strategy in protected areas. Through interviews with key stakeholders situated in conservation and tourism institutions in both…
Ang Paglikha ng Kalamidad
Parang sentido komun na ngayon sa Pilipinas at sa iba’t ibang lugar sa mundo na ang mga kalamidad ay isa lamang “social construct” sa wikang Ingles. Samantala, ang ginagamit natin upang magsaliksik tungkol sa mga kalamidad ay isang uri lang ng konsepto, teorya, at metodolohiya na galing sa Kanluran. Layunin ng artikulo na ito na tutulan ang kabalintunaang epistemolohikal na ito. Ipakikita natin na ang mismong konsepto ng kalamidad ay likha lamang…
On the production of hybrid urban space(s) in post -colonial cities
This article challenges the dominant reading of Manila as a predominantly polarized city where the wealthy and less affluent are often opposed. The article rather draws upon Lefebvre’s approach to the production of space and Soja’s concept of thirdspace to provide a postcolonial exploration of a common representational and imaginary space that transcends blatant socio-economic disparities. This thirdspace is both evident in and produced by the mu…
The Invention of Disaster
This theoretical contribution argues that the domination of Western knowledge in disaster scholarship has allowed normative policies and practices of disaster risk reduction to be imposed all over the world. It takes a postcolonial approach to unpack why scholars claim that disasters are social constructs while offering little but theories, concepts and methods supposed to be universal in understanding the unique and diverse experiences of millio…
Academic publishing in disaster risk reduction
Nowadays there are approximately 80 Anglophone journals that deal primarily with disaster risk reduction (DRR) and allied fields. This large array signals a sustained, if uneven, growth in DRR scholarship but also competition between the offerings of different publishers and institutions. The purpose of this article is first to summarise the development of academic publishing on DRR from its early beginnings to the present day. The paper then eva…
People’s Participation in Disaster-Risk Reduction
People’s participation is widely acknowledged as a necessary component of effective, efficient, and inclusive disaster-risk reduction. However, there is little reflection on how commitments for participation in disaster literature and policy translate into meaningful participation in practice. Participation often takes the form of standardized, top-down approaches that have little interaction with decision-making processes. Such approaches often …
‘Serious’ Disaster Video Games
Scholars, practitioners and educators propose video games as innovative teaching methods to engage geography students. A methodological framework, informed by constructivist learning theory, explored the ability of ‘serious’ disaster video games to foster student participation in learning within four New Zealand schools. The findings indicate the utilization of video games within the classroom requires further consideration of the teaching and le…
On the use of participatory methodologies for video game research
Video game scholars examining the shortcomings of previous video game research reference the need for new and innovative methodologies. Existing video game research seemingly inhibits organic learning experiences by setting specific research targets or providing players with gameplay instructions, hence utilising methodological approaches that study the learning process from the outside. With the increasing popularity of both serious and mainstre…
Disaster studies inside out
Disaster studies is faced with a fascinating anomaly: frequently it claims to be critical and innovative, as suggested by the so-called vulnerability paradigm that emerged more than 40 years ago, yet often it is perpetuating some of the core and problematic tenets of the hazard paradigm that we were asked to challenge initially. This paper interrogates why such an anomaly persists. In so doing, it employs Antonio Gramsci's concept of hegemony to …
Beyond Stop Disasters 2.0
With the increasing popularity of video games over the last few decades, a significant research area for disaster studies has presented itself. Preliminary disaster video game research deconstructed a multitude of disaster video games from various international organisations (e.g. UNESCO, UNISDR), governments (e.g. Canada), non-government organisations (e.g. Save the Children, Christian Aid), researchers and mainstream disaster video games. This …
Natural Hazards and Disasters
Apprehending the causes of disasters associated with natural hazards has stimulated much discussion among geographers. In particular, they have debated about the relative role of natural versus human factors in the increasing, but spatially unequal, occurrence of documented disasters. These debates have had a powerful influence on disaster risk management as well as postdisaster reconstruction policies and practices
Engaging communities in managing multiple hazards
Participatory methods are a common approach for giving voice to local communities in hazard and disaster research. Drawing on a study that trialled and modified a range of participatory methods in North Sulawesi, eastern Indonesia, this paper reflects on how such methods help document the capacities of small island communities. We assessed capacity from a sustainable livelihoods perspective, identifying the assets that enable villagers to cope wi…
We’ve seen the future, and it’s very diverse
This viewpoint describes changes in the way that gender and sexual identity are perceived by various disaster risk reduction stakeholders in the city of West Hollywood, California, USA. In general in Europe and North America, and elsewhere, the trend has been for so-called ‘vulnerable’ groups or groups of people with ‘special needs’ to be seen after a time as groups of people with agency, with ‘special contributions’ and with capacities in relati…

Participatory numbers for integrating knowledge and actions in development
This article discusses the opportunities and challenges associated with the use of quantitative participatory methods and participatory numbers for integrating locals’ and outsiders’ knowledge, as well as actions from the bottom-up and top-down, in development. It places emphasis on the contribution of quantitative participatory methods and participatory numbers to foster dialogue between a wide range of stakeholders, for example, local people, N…

Poverty and Disasters
In many low-income countries, remittances are important in sustaining people’s livelihood and become even more significant during disasters. Meanwhile, the literature suggests that remittances are mainly accessible to middle and upper-income households, rather than to the poorest, thus implying differential capacities amongst households to overcome crises. The present study uses cyclone Evan that hit Samoa in December 2012 as a case study to test…

Island contributions to disaster research
Island case studies have contributed significantly to disaster research theory and application, including more recent work on climate change adaptation. Island-related work in development and disasters has been particularly adept at building on the past in order to create a better development future through disaster risk reduction, one subset of which is climate change adaptation. However, recent emphasis on climate change has to a large degree b…
Children with disabilities and disaster preparedness
An estimated seven million children with disabilities worldwide are affected by disasters annually. This significant figure emphasises the particular vulnerability of these children in facing natural hazards. However, their needs as well as their capacity and role in disaster risk reduction have largely been overlooked by researchers and policymakers. This paper draws on a case study in Christchurch to identify insights, realities, possibilities …
From Deviant to Bakla , Strong to Stronger
Disaster risk reduction (DRR), and indeed development at large, has traditionally been reluctant to acknowledge and accept the issue of gendered and sexual diversity in its mainstream policy design and practice. Recent forays into mainstreaming gender and sexual minorities into DRR have, however, highlighted the crucial role that these minorities play in bigger development aspirations of participation and empowerment. This debate article explores…
Participatory Action Research for Dealing with Disasters on Islands
Much disaster research has a basis in non-island case studies, although monodisciplinary disaster-related research across past decades has often used case studies of individual islands. Both sets of work contribute to contemporary ‘participatory action research’ which investigates ways of dealing with disasters on islands. This paper asks what might be gained through combining disaster research, island studies, and participatory action research. …
Religions, natural hazards, and disasters
This editorial serves as an introduction to the special issue of Religion on Religions, Natural Hazards, and Disasters. It sets out some conceptual background and briefly reviews the existing literature on religion, natural hazards, and disasters. It also provides a brief assessment of the role of religious and groups in reducing the risk of disasters

Alternatives for Sustained Disaster Risk Reduction
The daily media is filled with images of catastrophic events which seem increasingly frequent and violent. In parallel there are a large range of scientific studies, debates in the policy arena, and a growing number of international institutions focused on disaster reduction. But a paradox remains that despite advances in technology, disasters continue to increase, affecting many individuals in rich as well as poor countries
The Uphill Emergence of Scientific Communities in Africa
The increasing concern African decision-makers and international funding agencies feel for scientific research in Africa and its impact on development has led to the establishment of several support programmes, especially for agricultural research. What is the current state of scientific research in Africa? What holds back its development? After a historical review of science in Africa, this paper searches for answers by analysing available resou…
