BSA Risk Group One Day Free Conference 27^th February 2009
How Risk Theory and Practice Inform Each Other
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 analyse what has previously
informed thinking about risk in relation to community and health care
practices but will also compare such thinking against the reality of
contemporary practices to inform, revise and develop risk theory.
There are still a few places left. To book your place go to:
