Questioning Social Vulnerability: The Theories in Practice with Danielle Zoe Rivera. Social vulnerability indices and maps form the dominant tools used in calculating and defining environmental injustices. However, these practices are not without drawbacks and methodological issues. This talk will discuss the theoretical shortcomings of these approaches, potential avenues to push past these shortcomings, and provide examples of how this could look in practice.
