With three professorships advertised covering a wide range of subjects in
geography, a superb opportunity exists to promote risk, disaster, hazard,
and vulnerability research and application and to further bring these topics
into curricula and lecture theatres. Given the research direction indicated
and the institutes already existing at Oxford, a further opportunity clearly
exists to further combine these topics with environmental management,
development issues, human rights, and public policy (see, for example, Radix
http://online.northumbria.ac.uk/geography_research/radix ). Any takers?
