My work has appeared in interdisciplinary journals, such as Journal of Community & Applied Social Psychology, Environmental Hazards, Disasters, International Journal of Disaster Risk Reduction, and Journal of Contemporary Asia. I am currently serving on the editorial board of Environmental Hazards Review as an early career editorial member.
