Description
Conflict continues to take an excessive toll on humanity with humanitarianism for all forms of disasters continuing to be important. Despite many notable successes, why are disaster risk reduction and conflict resolution efforts not solving all the challenges?
This module aims to help students understand the importance of a disaster risk reduction perspective for conflict and humanitarianism. Students will experience how communication in such situations is made to and from those involved and will discuss historical and current examples with disaster risk alongside the efforts to address these risks. They will improve their own awareness in terms of identifying skills they need to develop to adequately deal with conflict and humanitarian situations from a disaster risk reduction perspective.
The lectures and assessments meet the growing and recognised need for those in risk and disaster reduction to understand better the meanings and contexts of conflict and humanitarian situations, especially how to take a disaster risk reduction perspective of conflict and humanitarianism.
