Publications

I focus on qualitative research that is policy relevant and am always looking for hidden narratives that often overlooked in scholarly work. My most relevant publications to this group are Displacement in Paradise: Hurricane Dorian slams the Bahamas and Input for the High-Level Panel on Internal Displacement from the Kingdom of Tonga. Both are available on researchgate: https://www.researchgate.net/profile/John_Marazita_Iii
