Dr. Courtney Page-Tan is an Assistant Professor of Human Resilience and Program Chair of the M.S. in Human Security and Resilience degree program in the Department of Security and Emergency Services at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. She has a Ph.D. in Political Science from Northeastern University. She was previously a Postdoctoral Fellow in Computational Social Science at Wesleyan University and a Research Fellow with the Aldrich Resilience Lab at Northeastern University.
Dr. Page-Tan is dedicated to cultivating partnerships with practitioners, industry leaders, policymakers, community leaders, and academic institutions to build resilient ecosystems. She leverages her background in social capital, resilience, public policy, information communication technology, and GIS to explain how governments, NGOs, private sector entities, urban planners, and individuals can build resilience. Her research advances knowledge in how online and offline social ties mitigate the adverse outcomes of unexpected shocks and short- and long-term environmental stressors. She has consulted for The City of Cambridge, Massachusetts, ISeeChange, U.N. Development Programme - Paraguay, and U.N Development Programme - Mexico. Her research has been supported by grants and funding from diverse sources, from federal government entities, including the Department of Homeland Security; local governments such as The Mayor’s Special Advisory Committee on Neighborhood-Based Resilience in the City of Cambridge, Massachusetts; private sector partners, such as ISeeChange; and research institutions, including the Natural Hazards Center at the University of Colorado - Boulder and Northeastern University. Her publications to date have been featured in the International Journal of Disaster Risk Reduction, Journal of Homeland Security and Emergency Management, Natural Hazards, Social Science & Medicine, International Risk Governance Council Resource Guide on Resilience, Economics of Disasters and Climate Change, Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Natural Hazard Science, Climate Science: Oxford Research Encyclopedias, and Asian Politics and Policy. |
