Throughout the academic year, the Disaster Resilience Research Network (DRRN) will be holding biweekly research seminars for network members.
The idea for this year's seminar series is to encourage DRRN members to share their work and how it relates to the network. In this spirit, members will consider how to share their work accessibly to a transdisciplinary audience with a shared interest in disaster research. This will be a great chance to learn what other members are up to, while communicating our very different forms of knowledge to a diverse academic audience.
The seminars will be 1-1.5 hours, with talks lasting 30-40 minutes, leaving plenty of time for Q & A and discussion. While we encourage in-person attendance as conditions allow, we will be holding the seminars in a hybrid format, in order to provide for virtual participation, as well.
