About this listen
Angela is joined by Professor Ilan Kelman, Professor of Disasters and Health at University College London, to explore an unconventional and impactful career path. Ilan shares how he stumbled into the field of disaster prevention through graduate studies, his transition from development work to a PhD funded by an insurance company, and why he ultimately chose to stay in academia. He offers an honest look at what it’s really like to be a university professor (balancing challenging, rewarding teaching with research that connects knowledge to real-world societal needs) and how engaging with students helps keep his work grounded in people’s lives and livelihoods. To learn more about Ilan, visit his website.
