Very excited to share the first issue of JDS with the world -- any day now! Please feel free to get in touch if you have ideas for an article. In addition to research articles, also also seek innovative forms of scholarship (research notes, dialogues, visualizations, etc.).
The first issue of Journal of Disaster Studies is in press and will be published very soon! Check this space in coming days for more updates, and please consider submitting a manuscript! More information is available on our @PennPress website: pennpress.org/journals/journ…
