Disasters: Deconstructed Podcast
Society & Culture
In the second part of our discussion with Anthony Oliver-Smith, we discuss how society constructs risk using the example of Florida. He talks to us about his background as an anthropologist and how this field has become more critical in its study of disasters. We also discuss language, politics and the media in relation to root causes of disasters.
