The problem of health and disasters is widely studied, but overwhelmingly through the relatively narrow frame of 'disaster medicine'. This means that most of the extant scholarly work seeking to understand the link between health and disasters does so through the investigation of patterns of disease prevalence or risk, or examinations of the management of health care during the acute phase of disasters. However, health and illness are not only biological and medical products but also socially, politically and culturally produced. Health outcomes following disaster can be strongly influenced by the social environment, for example in terms of how people perceive health risks, problems of social isolation following the breakdown of community, or lasting impacts of evacuation and social disruption. There is a clear need for further research in this area in both the UK and Japan. For Japan, persistent effects of past disasters (notably the Fukushima Triple Disaster) leave a legacy of social and community disruption which is often focused on issues of health or healthcare. Events over the past summer (earthquake in Hokkaido, typhoon across several Prefectures of western Japan, heatwave) unfortunately serve to emphasise the importance of understanding these issues further. Within the UK, while disasters such as floods and fires have - as elsewhere - proven to be widespread, health and disaster research in the social sciences and humanities is an undersubscribed research area; there is a relative dearth of work in this field in the UK (compared for instance to the US or Japan) and a need to consolidate research expertise and develop further capacity. UK scholars can learn from the Japanese experience while Japanese scholars will also benefit from closer collaborations and increasing capacity in relation to recent and persisting disasters. This grant will support the creation of a network of researchers in the UK and Japan from across the social sciences and critical public health in exploring the social and political dimensions of health and disasters for post-disaster communities. The network will consist of a novel interdisciplinary constellation of scholars who individually and collaboratively interrogate the link between disasters and health from social perspectives. This network will be delivered through a set of key processes: 1.) a three-day symposium in Minamisoma, Fukushima (Japan) bringing together scholars working at the interface between health, disasters, and SSH; 2.) Development of a network website for the sharing of information and methodologies, and to serve as a site of introduction to potential research collaborations; 3.) A project development and grant-writing event at the University of Edinburgh to produce collaborative proposals for research in this areas; 4.) A conference held at the University of Edinburgh to present work and share information around the theme of the social sciences, disasters and health. All of the above-outlined processes will include the work of early career academics, which will further ensure the robust development of this research area. The named collaborators on this proposal will draw upon existing sub-disciplinary and institutional networks and contacts to ensure diversity of (sub)disciplinary representation and the inclusion of scholars at all career stages. This will serve as the building-block for transformational transdisciplinary work on the issue of health and disasters, which is much-needed given the cross-cutting nature of health impacts of disaster-affected communities. The network will provide the launch for sustainable research relationships across the UK and Japan on this topic.

健康与灾害问题得到了广泛的研究，但绝大多数都是通过相对狭窄的“灾害医学”框架进行的。这意味着，大多数试图了解健康与灾害之间联系的现有学术工作都是通过调查疾病流行或风险的模式，或检查灾害急性期的保健管理来实现的。然而，健康和疾病不仅是生物和医疗产品，也是社会、政治和文化产品。灾害后的健康结果可能受到社会环境的强烈影响，例如人们如何看待健康风险、社区崩溃后的社会孤立问题或疏散和社会混乱的持久影响。 英国和日本显然需要在这一领域进行进一步的研究。对日本来说，过去的灾难（特别是福岛三重灾难）的持续影响留下了社会和社区破坏的遗产，这些破坏往往集中在健康或医疗保健问题上。不幸的是，去年夏天发生的事件（北海道地震、日本西部几个县的台风、热浪）强调了进一步了解这些问题的重要性。在联合王国，虽然洪水和火灾等灾害-与其他地方一样-已被证明是普遍存在的，但社会科学和人文科学中的健康和灾害研究是一个认购不足的研究领域;联合王国在这一领域的工作相对缺乏（例如与美国或日本相比），需要巩固研究专业知识并进一步发展能力。英国学者可以从日本的经验中学习，而日本学者也将受益于更密切的合作，以及与最近和持续发生的灾害有关的能力的提高。 这笔赠款将支持在英国和日本建立一个来自社会科学和关键公共卫生领域的研究人员网络，以探索灾后社区健康和灾害的社会和政治层面。该网络将由一个新的跨学科学者群体组成，他们从社会角度单独和合作地询问灾害与健康之间的联系。 该网络将通过一系列关键流程实现：1.在南相马、福岛（日本）举办为期三天的研讨会，汇集了研究健康、灾害和SSH之间关系的学者; 2.）开发一个网络网站，以分享信息和方法，并作为介绍潜在研究合作的网站; 3.）在爱丁堡大学举办项目开发和赠款撰写活动，为这一领域的研究提出合作建议; 4）在爱丁堡大学举行的一次会议，围绕社会科学、灾害和健康这一主题介绍工作并分享信息。 所有上述过程将包括早期职业学者的工作，这将进一步确保这一研究领域的蓬勃发展。该提案的指定合作者将利用现有的子学科和机构网络和联系人，以确保（子）学科代表的多样性和所有职业阶段的学者的包容性。这将成为关于健康和灾害问题的转型跨学科工作的基石，鉴于受灾社区健康影响的跨领域性质，这是非常必要的。该网络将为英国和日本在这一主题上的可持续研究关系提供启动。
