- More about The Epistemology of Disasters and Social Change: Pandemics, Protests, and Possibilities
Disasters can have a profound impact on our beliefs and social structures, leading to disinformation and authoritarianism or greater solidarity and human rights. The Epistemology of Disasters and Social Change explores how disasters can be used to produce positive social transformation and lead to a brighter future during this century of crisis.

An earthquake in Mexico City spurs the rise of democracy
A plague in South Africa lays the foundations for apartheid
A terrorist attack on New York City triggers massive shifts in global security
A global pandemic sets the stage for the largest civil rights protests in generations
Beyond their physical impact, disasters assault our certainty and shape a narrow space to alter the structure of what we believe
That change can lead us toward disinformation and authoritarianism, or it can lead us toward greater solidarity and human rights
It all depends on the choices we make as we live through crisis; on how, in fact, we choose to know each other
The Epistemology of Disasters and Social Change
draws on social epistemology, disaster sociology, psychology and feminist philosophy to investigate how disasters function as cauldrons of social transformation, for good and ill
We wrestle with how disasters change us, moment by moment, and provide new strategies to help these tragic events produce positive social transformation, leading to a brighter future during this century of crisis
