| Abstract | This project is funded by the Kajima Foundation in Tokyo in collaboration with Tohoku University by Dr. Sakata with the University of Westminster, represented by Dr. Koko Kondo and Amanda Capucci Polzin. This study examines risk communication practices among the Brazilian community in London as part of a comparative analysis involving Japan, led by Sakata from Tohoku University, and the UK, conducted by our team, with a specific focus on immigrants. Our approach centres on the current practices of immigrants, particularly their methods for seeking information during crises. This focus is grounded in the primary policy regarding immigrants: human rights. We also consider the roles of various agents, as discussed by Giddens (1984, 1986), Bourdieu (1977), and Whittenton (2015). Additionally, Oscarsson's (2022) study on crisis management highlights the importance of examining everyday work practices and the resources associated with them, which are crucial for coping with a crisis. |
