Disasters: Deconstructed Podcast
Society & Culture
Today we are delighted to be bringing you the first part of a conversation about "root causes" with Anthony Oliver-Smith. Tony is Emeritus Professor of Anthropology at the University of Florida and has been a great inspiration to both of us.
In this first part (of two) we discuss what root causes are and why it is so important to look beneath the symptoms, when we analyze disaster impacts. Tony gives us some wonderful examples from his expansive career that illustrate how disaster are anything but natural.
