Research Counts
Equity and Inclusion in Disasters Special Collection
This special collection of Research Counts features insights from research on often overlooked issues and underserved communities. The pieces are written by emerging scholars from underrepresented groups with expertise in equity and inclusion in disasters. This collection enhances the understanding of social inequality in crises while highlighting opportunities for cooperation and coordination between researchers and practitioners.
The articles in this collection showcase the work of fellows and alumni of the Bill Anderson Fund (BAF), a nonprofit organization that works to ensure that the diversity of the hazards and disaster field is reflective of American society. The BAF’s multidisciplinary community of scholars includes trailblazers in research and practice who strive to reduce the disproportionate harm and suffering disasters cause to those marginalized by society. The articles in this collection will highlight several cross-cutting themes related to:
- Low-Attention Disasters
- Social Marginalization and Inequality
- Equity and Inclusion Across the Disaster Cycle
- Best Practices for Community-Based Collaborations
- Strengths and Capacities of Socially Marginalized Communities
Research Counts articles are intended for a broad audience of public health practitioners, emergency managers, policy makers, journalists, and others interested in the impacts of disaster. You can read about the motivation for the series and access contributions and other special collections on the Natural Hazards Center website.
