The Governance of Crises research group focuses on understanding crisis, disasters, and emergencies, such as hurricanes, floods, accidents, cyber security breaches, system blackouts and terrorist attacks. Crises are considered to be serious threats to the basic structures or the fundamental values and norms of a system. Our approach reflects ISGA’s multidisciplinary nature, and leverages public administration, organizational, sociological, political, and methodological perspectives. Crisis Governance research has traditionally focused on either functional approaches to crisis management (preventing or mitigating tangible harm) or political approaches (responding to legitimacy and reputation threats, and organizational contingencies resulting from crises). Crisis governance research aims to identify, understand and explain the implications of the political, organizational and societal routines, perspectives and interests at stake in the strategic management of crises. Research on crisis governance should contribute to academic knowledge, inform public debate and support the development of professional practice. We are keen to link the study of crisis governance to broader disciplinary and interdisciplinary debates.Within this group, we are looking for someone with complementary expertise who can work independently.
