Course: Coping with Disasters

The goal of my course is pretty much out there in the title: "Coping with Disasters" will give an introduction to the basic concepts in Disaster Risk Management and look at how disasters form in the first place - and what determines resilience and coping when hardship strikes. We will be working with case studies and group works and, in addition to literature, will use a combination of mixed media, such as podcasts, documentaries and art work. There will be a disaster film club and the odd field trip!
