Work in Progress: the history of Disaster Risk Reduction

This Thursday, CENDEP is pleased to welcome Professor John Twigg as the speaker in our Work in Progress seminar series. The seminar starts at 16.30 in JHB 307

The title for John's talk is: "From fringe to mainstream: the history of Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR)." John says about his talk: "This seminar reviews the history of disaster risk reduction (DRR) over the past 30 years as it has moved progressively from the margins into the mainstream of disaster and development policy and programming. It considers intellectual, institutional and other factors that have contributed to this mainstreaming or constrained it, and offers some pointers to the future of DRR." 

We aim for our seminars to be space for introducing new ideas and discussing work in progress, we hope you will join us for an exciting set of talks this semester. Click here for the full list of seminars.
