DESCRIPTION:The risks\, impacts\, and responses to hazards and disasters a
 re inequitably distributed: race\, ethnicity\, gender\, socioeconomic and 
 educational status\, and other demographic factors inform communities’ r
 isk levels\, response capacity\, and overall vulnerability. Moreover\, dis
 asters themselves can accelerate pre-existing social trends\, often intens
 ifying existing inequities. The entanglement between equity\, justice\, an
 d disaster is evident in both high-income\, developed locations – Hurric
 anes Harvey and Katrina disproportionately affected low-income\, Black\, a
 nd Latinx communities in the United States\, for example  – and in low-i
 ncome\, developing states\, especially those that are former and current c
 olonial possessions. Clear-eyed awareness of the connections between equit
 y\, justice\, and disaster is essential to advancing equitable disaster ri
 sk reduction policy and to conducting reflexive disaster research\; in thi
 s session\, we invite panelists to discuss recent scholarship on these com
 plicated connections.\n \n
