My guest today is the one and only sociologist of disaster Kathleen Tierney. Our wide-ranging discussion touches on the many ways that disasters reveal society as it is, and what it can be.
Kathleen served as the director of the Natural Hazards Center from 2003 until 2016, and previously served as the director of the Disaster Research Center at the University of Delaware. During her career she has studied a wide range of disasters, including earthquakes in the U. S., Japan, and Haiti; major hurricanes such as Hugo, Andrew, and Katrina; technological disasters, and the terrorist attacks of September 11. She is most recently author of Disasters a Sociological Approach, and also The Social Roots of Risk. She was the senior author of Facing the Unexpected: Emergency Preparedness and Response in the United States and co-editor of Emergency Management: Principles and Practice for Local Government.
Tierney has served as a member of the National Academies Committee on Disaster Research in the Social Sciences, the Panel on Strategies and Methods for Climate-Related Decision Support, and the Panel on Informing Effective Decisions and Actions Related to Climate Change.
