Jennifer (Skrmetti) Trivedi
Background:
"I am doctoral candidate in socio-cultural anthropology interested in disaster preparation, relief, and recovery efforts, as well as issues related vulnerability, media coverage, governmental responses, and public perception of disasters. I am currently studying long-term recovery from Hurricane Katrina in Biloxi, Mississippi. I earned my bachelor's degree in history (with a minor in anthropology) from the University of Georgia in May 2004 and my Master's degree in anthropology from the University of Iowa in May 2007. My chapter “’Hurricanes Did Not Just Start Happening’: Expectations of Intervention in the Mississippi Gulf Coast Casino Industry” was published in 2009 in Arthur Murphy and Eric Jones’ SEA volume The Political Economy of Hazards and Disasters."
