Her research focuses on the processes of urban disaster risk creation and systemic implications of sustainability and resilience in the context of neoliberalism. Her research interests also include narratives and framings of disasters, intersectionality and vulnerability, and interlinkages between critical urban studies, cultural heritage, and disaster studies. A core part of her activities is science communication: she is a co-host of a popular podcast 'Disasters: Deconstructed'. Ksenia uses her work to draw attention to the fact that disasters are not natural.
