City University London, UK
27 February 2009
BSA Risk Study Group FREE One Day Conference, in association with City University: How Risk Theory and Practice Inform Each Other
City University, UK
As risk society changes, new risks are constantly emerging as are the technologies utilised to deal with them. A number of social scientists have made seminal contributions to the understanding of the ways in which risk affects such practices as policing and counter terrorism (Beck 2002), public health (Lupton & Petersen 1996), radiography (Rayner 1986), nursing (Annandale 1996) and midwifery (Heyman & Henriksen 2001).
At this conference, speakers will not only analysed what has previously informed thinking about risk in relation to community and health care practices but will also compared such thinking against the reality of contemporary practices to inform, revise and develop risk theory.
