Abstract
This special issue of Human Organization on the applied anthropology of risk, hazards, and disasters became possible as a result of the overwhelming number of submissions on the part of practitioners, researchers, and academics who responded to a call for papers on these topics for the 2013 Society for Applied Anthropology Annual meeting in Denver, Colorado. The motivation behind the call for papers originated from the Society for Applied Anthropologys presentation of the Malinowski Award, the associations most prestigious lifetime achievement award, to Anthony OliverSmith for his contributions to the anthropological study of human-environment relationships and the sociocultural dimensions of disaster vulnerability and impact. In the pages that follow, we provide a brief introduction to advancements in the field of disaster studies as well as the historical antecedents and the intellectual collaborations that contributed to contemporary work in the field. Finally, we review the multiple directions, methodological approaches, and theoretical leanings that comprise todays diversified field of disaster anthropology and discuss how the monographs included in this edition of Human Organization showcase the variety of topics and themes engaged by applied anthropologists who work in disaster related issues. We are mindful that a comprehensive history of the anthropology of disasters could scarcely be contained in one volume, let alone one introductory article. Instead, we point to some focusing events and research topics that led us to consider the problems and questions we find before us today.
