Understanding and managing risk and uncertainty is a central task in
contemporary societies characterised by rapid social, technological and
environmental change.
This book presents research approaches used by scholars who all share a
passion to gain new insights in how individuals, organisations and
societies approach uncertain futures and their potential dangers.
The contributions illustrate the usefulness of particular methods and
methodologies for researching risk in order to advance the understanding
and management of social, technological and environmental challenges.
With research strategies and approaches from sociology, psychology,
history, linguistics, anthropology, and gender studies, Researching
Risk and Uncertainty provides guidance and inspiration to students and
scholars across a range of disciplines interested in risk, disaster and
social crisis.
