Establishing a Social Research Infrastructure for Hazards and Disaster Studies – Manitoba Canada|灾害研究数据集|教育资源数据集

Establishing a Social Research Infrastructure for Hazards and Disaster Studies in Canada, funded by the Canada Research Chairs Program (Award # CRC-2020-00128). This project aims to comprehensively asset map the existing hazards and disaster scholars, educational courses, modules, and programs at the post-secondary education organizations in Manitoba, Canada. Accordingly, data were collected from the official institution websites of five universities and three colleges (https://www.edu.gov.mb.ca/ald/uni_coll.html), four religious institutions (https://www.edu.gov.mb.ca/ald/private_voc.html), and the Listing of Private Vocational Institutions of 52 private training institutions (https://www.edu.gov.mb.ca/pvi/list/list_n.html) in Manitoba. These data include the information of (1) courses that focus on climate change, hazards, risks, and disasters, and (2) academic programs that are related to the topic of climate change, disasters, and other crises. The original data also indicate faculty members who have expertise in conducting hazard and disaster research. However, faculty members’ data (e.g., names, email addresses, and office telephone numbers) cannot be shared publicly due to privacy and ethical concerns. The users may use the courses and programs information included in this dataset to identify related faculty members. These data illustrate the strengths and weaknesses of hazards-and-disaster-specific post-secondary education resources in Manitoba which might encourage hazards and disaster educators to understand the existing gaps and explore possible solutions. Researchers in Canada and internationally could use these data to navigate their potential research collaborators through related educational programs. Future students could use these data to search for hazards-and-disaster-related programs and courses, as well as contact potential faculty members in related departments. The general public could use the data to further search detailed information associated with the courses and programs they might be interested in as well as identify their community-based scholars through the courses and programs.
