The event marks the beginning of the UCPH 2016 project “Changing Disasters”. This research project aims to explore the two-way relationship between disaster and society. It is vital to understand how modern disasters are shaped by societies – but it is no less vital to understand how contemporary societies are shaped by disasters.
At the event the project will be presented and two internationally renowned scholars will lead the discussion of some of the most vexing issues of disaster research.
Time: Friday 1 November 2013 9:00-11:30
