Toward disaster-resilient universities: A pre-Covid assessment of American institutions of higher education
This article investigates the state of resilience of academic institutions in the Southeastern United States prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. Drawing on 50 expert interviews with campus emergency management professionals conducted prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, this article advances three findings that contribute to the discourse on disaster-resilient universities. First, some academic institutions appear to have strengthened their emergency mana…
Slow Listening: Digital Tools for Voice Studies
Sound studies in general, and voice studies in particular, present particular challenges for digital humanities scholarship. The software tools available to digital humanists who want to study performative speech are less familiar and less developed for our uses, and the user base is also much smaller than for text mining or network analysis. This article provides a critical narrative of our research and an outline of our methodology, in applying…
“Unattended, distracting or irrelevant”: Theoretical implications of terminological choices in auditory selective attention research
Addendum: Observation-based solar and wind power capacity factors and power densities (2018 Environ. Res. Lett. 13 104008)
‘Observation-based solar and wind power capacity factors and power densities’ (Miller and Keith 2018 Environ. Res. Lett. 13 104008) contained a methodological error in how we estimated wind plant area, leading to an underestimate of wind power densities. The method and revised results were published as a Corrigendum (Miller and Keith 2019 Environ. Res. Lett. 14 079501). Given the importance of these estimates to energy policy, here in this Addend…
Beyond Poet Voice: Sampling the (Non-) Performance Styles of 100 American Poets
Literary readings provoke strong feelings, which feed intense critical de-bates. And while recorded literary readings have long been available for study, few scholars have applied to them the empirical methods that the digitalhumanities and interdisciplinary sound studies now offer
Observation-based solar and wind power capacity factors and power densities
Power density is the rate of energy generation per unit of land surface area occupied by an energy system. The power density of low-carbon energy sources will play an important role in mediating the environmental consequences of energy system decarbonization as the world transitions away from high power-density fossil fuels. All else equal, lower power densities mean larger land and environmental footprints. The power density of solar and wind po…
Displaced: Life in the Katrina Diaspora
Hurricane Katrina forced the largest and most abrupt displacement in U.S. history. About 1.5 million people evacuated from the Gulf Coast preceding Katrina’s landfall. New Orleans, a city of 500,000, was nearly emptied of life after the hurricane and flooding. Katrina survivors eventually scattered across all fifty states, and tens of thousands still remain displaced. Some are desperate to return to the Gulf Coast but cannot find the means. Other…
Controlling disasters: Recognising latent goals after Hurricane Katrina
Classic sociological theory can be used to interpret the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, which made landfall in the United States on 29 August 2005. The delayed and ineffective response to the storm and the subsequent failure of the levees become more understandable when one considers the latent goals of social control in disaster recovery. Constructing the survivors as suspect or criminal and conceptualising the impacts of the disaster as indivi…
Hazards of neoliberalism: Delayed electric power restoration after Hurricane Ike1
This case study explores how neoliberal policies shape the impacts of a natural disaster. We investigate the reactions to major damages to the electric power system and the restoration of power in the wake of Hurricane Ike, which devastated the Houston, Texas, metropolitan area in September 2008. We argue that the neoliberal policy agenda insured a minimalist approach to the crisis and generated dissatisfaction among many residents. The short-ter…
