New from me @socprobsjournal — “The Sociology of Property Value in a Climate-Changed United States” — in which I set out an analytical strategy for reckoning w/the emerging set of complex issues at the intersection of climate impacts and homeownership https://t.co/rNitU757qN

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

A for-profit insurance industry is a bad first line of defense against natural disasters. There’s a better way.

"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.
Rising home insurance rates are killing homeowners, and making it impossible to build affordable housing. We need solutions at the scale of the crisis. Our latest @cplusci report calls for *holistic* public interventions rooted in justice—and research. https://t.co/0MLid4jF2h

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.
More people across the US are experiencing climate disasters, forcing them to leave or lose their homes. Insurers are leaving us behind. No one is talking about the problems driving the crisis or offering solutions. Our new report provides a path forward. https://t.co/IXksrUDvp7

Some argue that public insurance can't be a solution to today's home insurance crisis because existing federal & state disaster insurance programs have issues. That's the wrong way to think about it, say @RebsFE & Moira Birss https://t.co/bPB7J1NMCs (1/x)

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. https://t.co/Gldf1jIakN

It’s worth reminding those critical of the student protests raging across the US: Gaza no longer has universities. Every single university in Gaza has been bombed into oblivion. Hundreds of academics, scholars, professors, & students have been killed since Oct. 7. #scholasticide
