Crisis in the Gulf of Mexico
As natural-technological catastrophes become increasingly complex in their severity, scale, and duration, so too must our policy responses. Utilizing the 2010 BP/Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico as a case study, this paper explores the ecological, sociocultural, and political challenges from an interdisciplinary perspective. Consistent with prior research on catastrophes, the findings of this study indicate that the severity of d…
The low down on the down low
The down low has recently emerged as phenomenon where men have sex with men (MSM), but identify as ‘heterosexual’ or ‘straight’. Although the down low has received considerable attention in United States media, little empirical research has sought to investigate this phenomenon beyond anecdotal evidence. Utilising data from the Urban Men’s Health Study (UMHS) (n = 2881), this research offers a unique opportunity to investigate empirically claims …
A World-System Approach to Post-Catastrophe International Relief
As our understanding of disaster shifts from an event concentrated in time and space to a social occasion occurring across time and space, so too must our explanations of disaster shift from theories of the middle range to broader theoretical frameworks. We explore the world-system approach in an effort to understand the upper limits of theory for disaster and offer this approach as a better understanding of how long-term development shapes socia…
Hurricane Katrina and the Flooding of New Orleans
Hurricane Katrina created an unprecedented need for sheltering and temporary housing across a four-state area along the Gulf Coast. This article reviews the disaster literature with respect to sheltering and temporary housing and contrasts how these needs actually developed with respect to both the preimpact and postimpact evacuation situations. The article also investigates the ways that intergovernmental planning failed to anticipate the need f…
The Social Construction of Disasters
Opening Remarks Terrorist attacks on the United States (September 11, 2001), Madrid (March 2004), and London (July 2005); the Indian Ocean tsunami (December 2004); Hurricane Katrina (August 2005); and the Pakistan earthquake (October 2005), among others, have once again captured the interest of the international community, researchers, academics, and the media. The social science disaster research community has made important contributions to our…
