Journal of Disaster Studies

Journal of Disaster Studies is an open-access, peer-reviewed, interdisciplinary journal that publishes the work of disaster researchers around the world. The journal foregrounds historically and theoretically framed analyses of both slow and abrupt disaster, questioning how disasters have been designated, conceptualized, and politicized. The journal seeks to define and foster disaster justice as a key concern and theme. The aim of the journal is to advance interpretive theory, methods, and empirical research that supports disaster prevention and response.

The first three volumes of the journal were sponsored by KAIST University in South Korea. We are currently working to identify funders for future volumes.
