A paradigm for studying the human impacts of disasters and extreme events using liminality

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: We commend developing a processual, relational and experiential psychosocial framework for exploring the human impacts of crises, disasters and extreme events that encompasses multidisciplinary contributions interactively. We suggest a paradigm shift employing the notion and properties of liminality, because this refers directly to change and meets the challenges we outline.
