  • Designing Distance: Resilience, Design, and the Critical Social Sciences after the Design Turn

    Open AccessKevin Grove, Geneviève Reid et al.ARTICLEDesign Issues2026

    Over the past decade, the rapid growth of interest in resilience has generated new avenues for interdisciplinary initiatives. Resilience programs, such as the Rockefeller Foundation's influential 100 Resilient Cities, increasingly draw on the holistic and future-oriented approach of social design to transform how decision-makers within and beyond the state might know and manage social and environmental complexity. In the process, the critical soc…

  • The Disaster Response Mobilization System: A community‐based disaster preparedness strategy in Puerto Rico

    Open AccessJoseph M Davis, Tara Checko et al.ARTICLEDisasters2025References: 50

    Puerto Rico is increasingly vulnerable to natural hazards that exacerbate ongoing humanitarian and economic crises. Historically, local and federal recovery efforts have been slow and inadequate, leaving community members as first responders post disaster. Community‐based disaster preparedness can reduce vulnerability and improve disaster management strategies, yet there is an absence of implementation tools appropriate for grassroots organisatio…

  • Absurd geographies of resilience and justice

    Open AccessKevin Grove, Geneviève Reid et al.ARTICLEClimate and Development2024

    This paper problematizes how scholars understand the relation between resilience and justice. Critical and applied scholarship tends to dismiss resilience as a neoliberal barrier to justice, or assume it necessarily advances justice outcomes. Instead, drawing on collaborative fieldwork with Miami-based social and climate justice organizers, we explore how resilience is mobilized in contextually-specific struggles against racialized vulnerability …

  • The Battle for Paradise: Puerto Rico Takes on the Disaster Capitalists

    Open AccessSarah MolinariARTICLEAlternautas2022

    The one-year anniversary of Hurricane Maria calls into question the temporality of disaster, both in terms of lived experience and analysis. It was difficult for Puerto Ricans to mark the first anniversary while so many still live Maria’s daily effects physically, emotionally, and financially. Failing institutions and disaster recovery initiatives have too often deepened vulnerability in the wake of Hurricanes Irma and Maria, thus augmenting the …

  • Crypto-urban statecraft: Post-pandemic urban governance experiments in Miami

    Stephanie Wakefield, Sarah Molinari et al.ARTICLEUrban Geography2022Cited by: 5References: 5

    In this Urban Pulse essay, we explore post-COVID-19 pandemic experiments with integrating cryptocurrency into urban governance. Drawing on the case of the City of Miami, we draw attention to practices and imaginaries of crypto-urban statecraft. This concept signals the recalibration of urban governance using cryptographic technologies. In Miami, crypto-urban statecraft has emerged as a response to multiple layers of crisis associated with COVID-1…

  • Conjuring the Close from Afar: A Border-Crossing Tale of Vieques' Activism and Obama-Empire1

    Víctor M Torres-Vélez, Sarah Molinari et al.ARTICLESouls2013References: 9

    After more than 60 years of military occupation, 30 of these under violent military practices, a social movement forced the U.S. Navy from the island of Vieques. This victory would not have been possible without the highly effective organization of civil disobedience carried out on the island. But the sum total of the actions that eventually forced out the U.S. Navy, neither happened exclusively within the boundaries of Vieques, nor was carried o…
