Dr. Courtney Page-Tan is an Assistant Professor of Public Affairs & Community Resilience at The O'Neill School of Public and Environmental Affairs at IUPUI. She was previously an Assistant Professor of Human Resilience in the Department of Security and Emergency Services at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, a former Postdoctoral Fellow in Computational Social Science at Wesleyan University and has a Ph.D. in Political Science from Northeastern University. Her research examines how communities and social networks mitigate the adverse outcomes of unexpected shocks and short- and long-term stressors. She has advanced her work through community-based partnerships and private-sector partnerships with minority and women-owned enterprises (MWBE), such as ISeeChange and Nextdoor. The findings of her research have made three primary contributions to the study of community resilience: that social capital, inclusive policymaking, and tech and innovation can mitigate rising inequalities in individual and community resilience. She has contributed to the United Nations' flagship disaster risk reduction (DRR) Global Assessment Report and consulted for The City of Cambridge, MA, ISeeChange, and the United Nations Development Programme.
