RC39 Sociology of Disasters (host committee)

Language: English

The globe is experiencing an unprecedented level of human mobility within and across borders. This can be linked to climate change, wars and civil unrest, poverty, natural disasters, and other environmental factors. Many disasters force or encourage the migration of people. After a disaster or in preparation for a coming events, governments, planners, or opportunists move communities as part of rebuilding or mitigation strategy or prevent communities from rebuilding. Pre-existing diasporic communities may raise funds or encourage international attention in their home region, or they may shape the political and diplomatic response to disaster in their host country. This session seeks to understand the multifaceted and complex connection between disaster and the movement of people.
