> Geoff Nichols has just published a paper titled 'Risk and Adventure

>
> Abstract: This article considers several research questions concerning
> adventure education and risk. These are: What is the role and nature
> of risk
> in adventure education? Is the outcome of adventure education to
> encourage
> participants to take a more adventurous approach to life in general,
> or is
> it limited to introducing thgem to socially acceptable forms of risk
> taking?
> Is the scope of adventure education to use risks being reduced? If it
> is, is
> this because of a greater general risk aversion in society or a
> greater
> aversion to the risks associated with particular activities? If the
> scope of
> adventure education to use risks is being reduced will it have to
> accept
> this? These questions are not well developed in the theory of
> adventure
> education. The article does this and relates them to the development
> of
> theory in risk research.
>
> Thought this might inform the discussion we're having.
