Disasters affect people individually and collectively in their communities, national societies, and the international sphere and in any setting from the home to the planetary level. Furthermore, these disasters can be complex, multi-layered and what happens in one location can affect sentient beings elsewhere directly and/or indirectly.

Autorenporträt
Lena Dominelli (Professor) is Chair of Social Work and Director of the MSc in Disaster Interventions and Humanitarian Aid at the University of Stirling. She has undertaken research in projects including climate change and extreme weather events, health pandemics such as Covid-19; earthquakes; volcanic eruptions; disaster interventions; vulnerability and resilience; community engagement; coproduction and participatory action research; and climate risk for young people. Lena has published widely in social work, social policy and sociology, including several ground-breaking classics, the latest on Green Social Work which provides a theory and practice of disasters from a social justice perspective that includes environmental justice and sustainability. A key message of her research is using a holistic approach that includes the duty of people to take care of Planet Earth by seeking alternatives to fossil fuel-based patterns of production and consumption to ensure sustainable approaches to meeting human needs and ending wars through the peaceful resolution of conflicts. She founded Social Work for Peace to this end. She currently chairs the IASSW Committee on Disaster Interventions, Climate Change and Sustainability and attended United Nations discussions on climate change (UNFCCC COP), since Cancun, Mexico in 2010. She also chairs the Special Interest Group on Disasters, SPEDI, for the British Association of Social Workers (BASW) and is a founder member of the England Round Table on Disasters and Social Work. She has received various honours and prizes for her work.
