This book sheds light on the important and mostly neglected role
that gender plays in achieving the UN Sustainable Development
Goals, doing so by investigating three key problem areas:
empowerment, education, and infrastructure. Starting with a
theoretical and methodological framework, this edited collection
contains 12 chapters from scholars and researchers from around the
world. The book includes numerous case studies discussing the
current status of gender equality relating to the SDGs. It
reinforces the significance of gender for sustainable and just
development, highlighting how women play a major role in work
organization, disaster management, income, household maintenance,
and mediation of knowledge. "Women" as a classification encompasses
much diversity with many intersecting axes of difference; this book
focuses on the excluded and disadvantaged majority social group,
without imposing homogeneity on that categorization. Many chapters
focus on critical situations occurring in the Global South, where
these issues are highly prominent, and importantly, these
contributions are written by local scholars. Finally, the volume
provides pathways for basic and professional gender responsive
education and innovation in the field. The book will generate
important discussions in interdisciplinary research and higher
education settings focusing on sustainable development, gender,
equality, human rights, and education.

There is a perennial gap between theory and practice, between
academia and active professionals in the field of disaster
management. This gap means that valuable lessons are not learned
and people die or suffer as a result. This book opens a dialogue
between theory and practice. It offers vital lessons to
practitioners from scholarship on natural hazards, disaster risk
management and reduction and developments studies, opening up new
insights in accessible language with practical applications. It
also offers to academics the insights of the enormous experience
practitioners have accumulated, highlighting gaps in research and
challenging assumptions and theories against the reality of
experience. Disaster Management covers issues in all phases of the
disaster cycle: preparedness, prevention, response and recovery. It
also addresses cross-cutting issues including political, economic
and social factors that influence differential vulnerability, and
key areas of practice such as vulnerability mapping, early warning,
infrastructure protection, emergency management, reconstruction,
health care and education, and gender issues. The team of
international authors combine their years of experience in research
and the field to offer vital lessons for practitioners, academics
and students alike.
