Methodologies of intersectionality for disaster risk studies
Purpose This article proposes an intersectional methodological framework for disaster risk studies inspired by Latin American feminist understandings of intersectionality. In recent years, within disaster risk studies, there has been an incipient dialogue concerning feminist epistemologies and methodologies to draw out vulnerability and capacities, but these have seldom engaged with methodologies of intersectionality. Based on a pilot project car…

Moving into danger? Embedding hazard modelling in a participatory workshop to support risk-sensitive urban development in Quito, Ecuador
Urban development increasingly takes the form of expansion at the edge of cities, often resulting in development of locations with greater exposure to natural hazards, as exemplified in Quito, which has experienced one hazard event per 0.8 km 2 of recent expansion. Predictive models of hazard impacts are thus important tools in planning, but their use can be limited by institutional technical capacity and data needs. In this paper, we present a t…
Reflexivity and interdisciplinarity
Purpose Reflexivity supports research teams in developing and implementing interdisciplinarity perspectives, but there is still limited literature on this topic. To fill this gap, we explore how reflexivity can support a research team in its interdisciplinary efforts to create new knowledge for disaster risk reduction. Design/methodology/approach We present the reflexive journey of our interdisciplinary research team consisting of Ecuador- and UK…
Envisioning the future by learning from the past
Disaster risk is the result of complex interactions between the drivers of vulnerability such as poverty and lack of access to resources and the impacts from multiple hazards (with differing intensities and recurrence intervals). These risks are difficult to understand, quantify or convey. Historical hazard events have important potential in generating understanding of multiple potential risks. They provide historical and near-historical records …
The “Controversial Cundurango Cure”
Argument This article examines the medical and political discussions regarding a controversial medicinal bark from Ecuador – cundurango – that was actively sponsored by the Ecuadorian government as a new botanical cure for cancer in the late nineteenth century United States and elsewhere. The article focuses on the commercial and diplomatic interests behind the public discussion and advertising techniques of this drug. It argues that diverse elem…
