Developing awareness of and responsiveness to gender, intersectionality, inclusion, and wider politics in the contexts of risks, vulnerabilities and disasters.
We investigate issues and opportunities surrounding, gender, inclusion, and intersectionality in the context of disaster risk reduction and humanitarianism. We use qualitative and quantitative methodologies, developing awareness and responsiveness to these issues in the academic, practitioner and policy discourse. We consider the political context directly and indirectly, with some cases using a decolonial lens. Specific gender-related sub-topics include feminist peace research; gender quotas and women's political participation, disasters and marginalised, informal workers and domestic workers. Our work has focused also on issues pertaining to wider international politics, environmental politics, and informal labour and rights, with the aim of driving meaningful change by influencing policy, challenging inequalities听and fostering resilience in vulnerable communities worldwide.
