@AVGampell aka that video game guy with a final tweet to close out my week on @DisastersRadix. The week started with the account of Ancient Greek historian Herodotus suggesting the invention of games emerged as a tool to reduce disaster risk,

@AVGampell aka that video game guy with three examples of ‘serious’ disaster video games that you may be interested in playing yourself or using with students in the classroom.

@AVGampell aka that video game guy, having had a quick insight into mainstream video game Mafia III, lets look at ‘serious’ disaster video games and think about conventional approaches to video game research.

@AVGampell aka that video game guy back for another installment in our look at disaster video games. A slight delay in posting given my need to attend to a late evening/early morning to execute some flood management on a burst bathroom tap flooding my bathroom and below...

@AVGampell aka that video game guy back for another entry into the realm of disaster video games. Building upon the account of Herodotus, another way video games connect to disasters is through disaster popular culture (DPC).

@AVGampell is kicking off our @DisasterPrevenM seminar on inclusion in #DRR at @EnvUoA!

Hi all, @AVGampell here aka that video game guy! Somehow I have been let loose with the Radix account! So lets venture into the arena of disasters, video games and popular culture. Let's start with a question I often get asked: what do (video) games have to do with disasters?

Many thanks @HendoWest and @ScottSimpsonMP for an insightful discussion with SUSTAIN 300 students around opportunities/ challenges for sustainable policy process/ decision making! Your contributions will beneficially inform the creative political party assignment for the course!

@DisastersRadix @wesinjapan @jcgaillard_uoa and @AVGampell module ‘The Human Dimension of Disaster’ @AucklandUni - it challenged every preconceived conception I had of disasters and I was fascinated from there on out. So grateful !

You can also watch/listen to recordings of some of our Disaster Prevention and Management seminars from our website: https://t.co/aTDOPCetIR @EmeraldGlobal @EmeraldEnvironm @AVGampell @jcgaillard_uoa @Khanh_TTon @meenashere @Lo_Baumann

The Disaster Studies Accord asks "When to research disaster?" A more specific question posed in the Accord is "When is the appropriate time to conduct research and according to whom?" When it comes to research with children and youth this is a complex question. /1

The Disaster Studies Accord calls for a change in HOW we research disasters. It requires us to stop assuming the role of "expert" as part of research on local conditions outside of our own culture. How does this apply to research with, for and by children and youth? /1
