Vol. 6 No. 2 (2023): Communities and Disasters: special edition

The papers in this Special Edition were developed through a series of collaborative workshops. Some papers began life as conference papers, others as student papers and others as niggles that needed scratching. Authors were invited to participate in the workshops and encouraged to publish. Participants generously suggested new approaches and shared literature to assist in the development of ideas. The aim of this approach was to move away from the traditional blind review processes that can often be demoralising. We'd like to thank the authors for their generous and generative contributions to building knowledge about communities in the context of disasters.
