IRDR0006: Conflict, Humanitarianism, and Disaster Risk Reduction (21/22)
Conflict continues to take an excessive toll on humanity with
humanitarianism for all forms of disasters continuing to be an important
sector. 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, to experience how
communication in such situations is made to and from various stakeholders,
to discuss field sites with disaster risk, and to improve their own
awareness in terms of identifying which of their own skills they need to
develop to adequately deal with conflict and humanitarian situations from a
disaster risk reduction perspective. The lectures, assessments, and
seminars will meet the growing and recognised need for those in the field
of risk and disaster reduction to understand better the meanings and
contexts of conflict and humanitarian settings and how to take a disaster
risk reduction perspective of conflict and humanitarianism.
