Emergency Management Research and Racial Equity. November 5, 2020 at 5:30pm E


 



 

 


 

What Can We Learn?

 

Dr. S. Atyia Martin, CEM often describes Emergency Management as “bringing order to the chaos”. What then, can we learn from Emergency Management research on resilience and disaster risk reduction, that can be applied to the chaos that racism brings to society? Tune in to find out!

 

On November 5th, 2020 at 5:30PM EST, Dr. Martin and special guest, Aaron Clark-Ginsberg—Associate Social Scientist for the RAND Corporation—delve into this very question. While the connection between Emergency Management research and racism might not be obvious on the surface, what is at the heart of both, is people.

 

Join Dr. Martin and Aaron Clark-Ginsberg to ask your questions about how we can put theory into practice so that when the rubber hits the road, we can be prepared to navigate disasters personal, social, and global scales. Tune in Thursday, November 5th, 2020 at 5:30PM EST!
