At Imara Science, we are committed to generating bold, relevant, and inclusive knowledge in the fields of humanitarian action, emergency management, and community resilience. We stand at the intersection of practice and research, driven by the belief that new knowledge must not only inform but also empower those working to meet human needs in times of crisis.

Our work centers on developing innovative research strategies, advancing cutting-edge methodologies, and amplifying voices that are too often underrepresented—particularly those from high-risk regions and historically marginalized communities. We believe that both seasoned practitioners and rigorous scholars have essential insights to offer, and our platform exists to bring those perspectives to light.

Imara Science supports projects that are global in outlook and grounded in real-world challenges. By showcasing the work of expert professionals and academic leaders from across the world, we aim to foster deeper understanding, practical impact, and long-term transformation. Together, we are shaping a more equitable and resilient future through the power of knowledge.

Our Editorial Board

The board guides strategic goals and optimizes the production process, supported by Imara-IHG's vast network of experts.

Broadening Perspectives in Disaster Studies

Minorities & Diversity

Current literature often overlooks young, less experienced, and marginalized voices. We actively seek contributions from these underrepresented individuals to enrich the discourse on humanitarian action and emergency management.

Global South & Global North

The majority of published works originate from the Global North. Our series is dedicated to rectifying this imbalance by actively including the vital perspectives of practitioners from the Global South.

Disciplinary Balance

This series aims to enhance understanding across diverse fields studying crises and disasters, including humanitarian studies, international relations, public policy, and social sciences. We prioritize interdisciplinary submissions.



What you can expect from us

The series editor is dedicated to ensuring your experience is exceedingly friendly and pleasant. From the initial contact when you share your idea to the final payment at the conclusion of the process, you will be embraced as a valued member of our family, and we will provide support every step of the journey.
