RADIX stands for Radical Interpretations of Disasters. It was established by Ben Wisner (@WisnerBen) & Maureen Fordham (@MF_GDG) in 2001, inspired by major disasters in the preceding decade.
RADIX is a collaborative space to share contents that could help to develop radical disaster scholarship & practice. Many of you are perhaps following the RADIX Listserv (and if you don't, you really should 😉).
RADIX is radical because it is concerned with both root causes of disaster & structural actions to prevent disasters from the ‘bottom up’ as well as the ‘top down’.
RADIX is non-sectarian but by no means not apolitical. As a collective, RADIX believes that disasters result from the unequal distribution of power in society. Preventing disasters therefore requires political actions.
Over the past 20 years, RADIX has evolved into a dynamic collective of researchers & practitioners from all around the world. It has inspired an entire generation of disaster scholars to be critical and explore radical pathways to understanding & preventing disasters. Join us!🤓
