Kate Booth, PhD, is a human geographer at the University of Tasmania,
specializing in the field of critical insurance studies. She is particularly
interested in the economic and social geographies of insurance in a
changing climate, and implications for inequality and inequity. Kate has
also worked on projects looking at sense of place, and the role of arts and
culture in urban regeneration. Her work is published in journals such as
Progress in Human Geography, Environment and Planning A: Economy
and Space, Environment and Planning E: Nature and Space, Urban Studies,
and Qualitative Inquiry.
Eliza de Vet’s, PhD, research interests include individual and household
experiences of weather, climate (change), and natural hazard-related
disasters, with particular interest in mitigation and adaptation strategies.
Based at the University of Wollongong, her key publications relate to
everyday weather-related cultural practices and environmentally
sustainable thermal comfort strategies. Recently, her research has
extended to the role of home and content insurance in household disaster
resilience, publishing on building regulations and under-insurance,
insurance as an unmitigated disaster, and insurance as essential tool for
long-term household recovery.
Rebecca Elliot, PhD, is an Assistant Professor of Sociology at the London
School of Economics. Her research examines the intersections of
environmental change and economic life, as they appear across public
policy, administrative institutions, and everyday practice. She is the
author of Underwater: Loss, Flood Insurance, and the Moral Economy of
Climate Change in the United States published in 2021.
Dr. Christine Eriksen, PhD, University of Wollongong, gained international
research recognition by bringing human geography, social justice,
and natural hazards into dialogue. With a particular interest in social
dimensions of disasters, her widely published work examines social
vulnerability and risk adaptation in the context of environmental history,
cultural norms, and political agendas. She is the author of two books:
