Table 15: Disaster, Risk, and Recovery
Sat, August 8, 4:00 to 5:00pm, TBASession Submission Type: Refereed Roundtable (60 minute)
Description
This session examines how climate-related disasters produce uneven risks, responses, and recovery trajectories across communities. The papers highlight how social inequalities shape vulnerability, preparedness, and access to recovery resources, while also attending to the labor and social processes that sustain recovery efforts. Together, they reveal disasters not as isolated events, but as ongoing social processes embedded in inequality.
