Wrote about the climate-induced insurance crisis that Hurricane Helene crashed into, and alternatives to leaving so much of how we plan for and recover from disasters up to the private sector ft. @RebsFE @cplusci Zac Taylor & Moira Birss newrepublic.com/article/186663…

Very excited to announce our first seminar of the year - NEXT THURSDAY! With Tianna Bruno of @BerkeleyGeog. Please join us!

Please submit!

"Helene will cause $25 billion to $30 billion in physical damage and losses, the majority of which won’t be covered by insurance." Now is the time for transformative policies—a new insurance paradigm that guarantees housing security while protecting people's finances.

It was so exciting to think with @cplusci about more protective, equitable insurance arrangements in a time of climate change. Their report is an incredible resource and articulates an essential vision for reimagining disaster risk finance.

My book is out! (almost...author copies are here!) An ethnography of history education in 🇿🇦schools, it shows how teaching about the past is not enough. When the past is remembered, but its legacies ignored, racism can continue unabated in the present. cup.columbia.edu/book/distancin…

Solidarity with our students demanding divestment

It’s fascinating to watch @nytimes writers try to grapple with the meaning of a seemingly novel concept: solidarity

I’m as guilty as anyone of thinking of my @Columbia undergraduates as “kids.” But here is what I’ve seen them do in the last two weeks: (1/10)
