Today I talked with two brilliant historians about disaster, disease, and history.

Jacob Remes is a clinical associate professor of history at New York University's Gallatin School of Individualized Study, where he directs the nascent Initiative for Critical Disaster Studies. He is author of Disaster Citizenship: Survivors, Solidarity, and Power in the Progressive Era (University of Illinois Press, 2016).  He is the co-editor, with Andy Horowitz, of the forthcoming Critical Disaster Studies: New Perspectives on Disaster, Vulnerability, Resilience, and Risk. 

Julia Engelschalt is currently a doctoral candidate in history at Bielefeld University.  She is working on a project titled "Climates, Contagion, and Comparison: American Medicine between Colonial Warfare and the New Public Health, 1898-1925."
