Disasters: Deconstructed Podcast
Society & Culture
Today we will be discussing the experience of risk, and disaster impacts by LGBTQI communities, who are often rendered invisible by those in power. The wonderful Darien Alexander Williams (MIT) joins us for this important conversation!
In keeping with the theme of Season 2, we also talk about the role of narrative/stories in the marginalization of LGBTQI people, and how we can do better.
