Thursday at 10 AM Pacific

May 7th 2020: Disasters: A Sociological Approach (including Covid-19)

Disasters are disaster because they impact society; the way we mitigate, prepare, respond, and recover from negative situations, including the Covid-19 pandemic. We speak with globally recognized sociologist, researcher and author, Professor Kathleen Tierney, as we discuss her book "Disasters: A Sociological Approach" with a slant to the Covid-19 pandemic. Prof, Tierney will talk to us about the social aspects of risks, preparedness and recovery. We'll also chat about how Covid-19 is challenging different societies with their response, as there is no 'blanket' approach to the pandemic.
