Disasters and Health: Response, Recovery and Vulnerability in the Global North and South

Monday, 11 July 2016: 14:15-15:45
Location: Hörsaal 5A G (Neues Institutsgebäude (NIG))
RC39 Sociology of Disasters (host committee)

Language: English

In a globally connected world, containment for epidemics, epizootics, and
zoonoses are more difficult to achieve and have increased potential for
widespread economic, political, and social impacts. Additionally, physical
and psychological health conditions related to environmental changes,
shocks and disasters raise concerns with regards to unequal impact in
relation to socio-economic or socio-cultural factors. This session
features papers examining issues of planning for the impact of disasters
as well as response and recovery in terms of practitioners and populations
(the elderly, migrants, mothers and children), their social networks and
vulnerabilities. This session will also investigate questions of equity
within case studies based on different methodologies and spanning
different scales, ranging from urban areas via metropolitan regions to
nation-states in the global North and South.
