Are Natural Disasters Really So Natural?
Episode 15
Thursday, 22 April, 2021

The days of catastrophic flooding, the hours of devastating hurricane winds, the minutes of terrifying earthquakes--Mother Nature wreaks havoc. But humans have a hand in the real disaster, says June Carolyn Erlick, and there's nothing natural about it. Find out why as we chat about her latest book, Natural Disasters in Latin America and the Caribbean: Coping with Calamity. June, editor of ReVista, the Harvard Review of Latin America, weighs in on the humanitarian crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border and its ties to the climate crisis. We also learn about her bilingual life and the secret ingredient of her infamous rooftop parties.

Y los humanos, al parecer, tenemos mucho que ver con las consecuencias de unos desastres “que no tienen nada de natural”, según June Carolyn Erlick, editora de ReVista, the Harvard Review of Latin America. Descubre por qué con nosotros mientras conversamos con June sobre su último libro, “Desastres naturales en América Latina y el Caribe: Cómo afrontar la calamidad.” La autora analiza los vínculos de la crisis humanitaria en la frontera de México con la crisis climática, reflexiona sobre su vida bilingüe y nos descubre el cóctel perfecto para sus célebres fiestas en la azotea.
