S7E1 - Season Introduction: Critical Theory, and Reading Books!

Welcome back for Season 7 of Disasters:Deconstructed!!! We are again very excited to spend time with you again - or for the first time - as we explore why disasters really happen.

As you may have noticed, we are recording this season as a series of livestreams. You can see the recordings on our Youtube channel. The season is focused on reading books and is being co-curated by Professor Camillo Boano!

Camillo Boano is a professor in Urban Design and Critical Theory at The Bartlett Development Planning Unit (DPU) and he’s also a professor in Architecture and Urban Design at the Politecnico di Torino, Italy. He is co-director of the UCL Urban Laboratory. Today we chat with Camillo about what it is to be critical and why theory is so important for disaster studies. And BOOKS!

Thanks to everyone on Twitter for helping us to choose the following books for this season. Please read along with us!!

1. Malcom Ferdinand (2019) “Decolonial Ecology. Thinking from the Caribbean world”

2. Max Liboiron (2021) “Pollution is colonialism”

3. Paolo Freire (2015) “Pedagogy of Indignation”

4. Silvia Federici (2021) “Patriarchy of the wage”
