In this episode, Jazmin Scarlett (Newcastle University) talks about her research in historical and social geography, examining the relationship between humans and volcanoes in the Caribbean. What is the history of human experience living near volcanoes on St. Vincent? Is this experience unique to the Caribbean islands? Why do people choose to live in a hazardous environment, and how do they cope with natural disasters before, during and after they occur? What does Jazmin wish would change about how disaster movies portray scientists’ contributions?
