Disasters: Deconstructed Podcast
Society & Culture
This week Daniel Aldrich and Wes Cheek join us to discuss what a successful disaster recovery looks like (or indeed if such a thing is possible), particularly in the context of Japan, where they have both worked extensively. Why is Japan held up as an exemplar for recovery? Does its technocratic approach work, and are we seeing the full picture? What is the role of social capital in determining recovery outcomes?
Join us to hear about all this and more!
Daniel P. Aldrich is a professor of political science and Director of the Security and Resilience Studies Program at Northeastern University.
Wes Cheek is a post-doctoral fellow at Ritsumeikan University with a background in urban studies and post-disaster reconstruction.
