Dr. Elaine Enarson received her Ph.D. from the University of Oregon and published her dissertation as Woods-Working Women: Sexual Integration in the U.S. Forest Service (1984). While in Nevada, she was the first director of women’s studies at the University of Nevada-Reno and coordinated the Nevada Network Against Domestic Violence. Elaine is an accidental disaster sociologist whose personal experience in Hurricane Andrew sparked extensive work on gender, vulnerability and community resilience. She writes widely on social vulnerability and resilience, teaches sociology, women’s studies and emergency management independently, and develops training and planning materials for women's organizations and emergency managers. In addition to numerous articles in the subfield, she co-edited The Gendered Terrain of Disaster: Through Women’s Eyes (1998) and Women, Gender and Disaster: Global Issues and Initiatives (2009), and is a founding member of the global Gender and Disaster Network and country-specific networks in Canada and the US. Elaine was lead course developer of a FEMA course on social vulnerability, and has convened numerous workshops on gender and disaster risk reduction, as well as initiating and directing a grassroots risk assessment project with women in the Caribbean and the electronic Gender and Disaster Sourcebook. After a teaching appointment in Manitoba at Brandon University’s Department of Applied Disaster and Emergency Studies, she returned to independent work based in Lyons, Colorado, where she is currently co-editing a book on Women of Katrina: The Gender Dimensions of Disaster Recovery, teaching Community Based Research for the Women’s College at the University of Denver, and writing a book on women and disaster in the US. She continues international consulting on gender and disaster risk reduction, and is developing an on-line course on the Gender Dimensions of Emergency Management. |
