Gail Adams-Hutcheson is currently a teaching fellow at The University of Waikato. Her teaching area is a continuation of Professor Robyn Longhurst's focus on space, place, bodies and geography. Gail's PhD is in the process of completion, and was conducted on the stories of people who relocated out of Canterbury after the 2010/2011 earthquakes and aftershocks. Gail combines well established geographical thought on disasters and natural hazards with emerging work on emotion and affect.
