Simone Domingue
Hello! I'm Simone
I am an interdisciplinary scholar who specializes in the social dimensions of hazards and disasters, climate change adaptation, and environmental justice. My past research has critically examined disaster resilience initiatives, disaster aid programs, and Louisiana’s response to climate change and coastal land loss. My current research focuses on building local government capacity for flood mitigation. Please reach out and connect with me via email, and follow me on Twitter: @Simone_Domingue.

RESEARCH ACTIVITY
Overview
I am a hazards and disaster researcher and social scientist concerned about environmental injustices, particularly those related to climate change. My past research has critically analyzed disaster resilience initiatives and federal disaster policy and argues that these measures reproduce social inequalities. Currently, I am part of a team of researchers measuring and evaluating climate adaptation capacity in small cities. We are interested in adaptation and its connections to (in)justice. This project is funded by the National Academies Gulf Research Program.
