This looks terrific. Is there anyone around who works somewhere near the New School who might be able to attend?

I have a wax that day. Can’t make it.

Better postpone that wax. Your man Howard (“The King of Risk Assessment”) Kunreuther is going to be there.

… as well as the grand old man of disaster studies, Enrico Quarantelli.

I know, the program is great.
When it was announced a couple months ago the students in my program (international affairs) somehow decided that it was the right occasion to complain about gender bias in the selection of conference speakers (the irony in part that the organizer of the conference was a woman, but whatever). You might imagine that my protestations that actually it was a pretty good lineup if one was actually interested in disasters and response in the US didn’t go so far.
I did think it would have been nice if there was more international orientation.
Michel-Kerjan, by the way, is also one of the big names in cat modeling.
