Journal of Disaster Studies

Delighted to announce that issue 2:1 of JDS is up, open access for all, on ProjectMUSE. Check it out! muse.jhu.edu/issue/55699

An interesting looking deep dive into the consequences of two NZ train disasters. From the abstract: This article brings together published accounts and archival materials to identify themes related to assigning blame, behavioural change, trauma, memorialisation, and social attitudes towards grief.

Transcript journeys through Sápmi, from Jåhkåmåhkke to Vájsáluokta: ”By questioning what we should take with us to the next world, "The End of This World" suggests the importance of collective grieving: the need to come together to elaborate and process experiences of collective trauma and loss.”

Very excited that my work on the legacies of the Hyde and Tangiwai railway disasters has been published in the Journal of Disaster Studies, @jds-disasters.bsky.social

This is the most personal piece I've written—emotionally intense but rewarding. It's open access and I hope you find it interesting
