Show Notes

Korey Pasch, PhD Candidate in Political Studies at Queen’s University joins us in studio. At the time of recording, Hurricane Dorian was rolling along Florida but the fascinating things Korey tells us about the financialization of natural disasters and the apparent ‘progressive’ stance Big Insurance necessarily takes in the face of climate change translates well to understanding preparedness, construction and reconstruction around any disaster worldwide. Really fascinating, informative and certainly interdisciplinary discussion! Check it out today!
