Current Research

Becca's research and practice is focused on participation and engagement in disaster risk reduction, drawing from critical disaster studies, complexity theory, sustainable futures, and her past work in urban planning and heritage protection. Her PhD project uses scenario games to explore the complexity of climate adaptation, including social vulnerabilities and the deeper held values and beliefs which are difficult to measure in traditional risk calculations. The scenarios are designed to engage local residents in an exploration of the topic of managed retreat and their vulnerabilities and capacities within this approach in Southwest Florida (USA).
