The Risk and Society research group was formed a number of years ago to provide a collaborative focus for the wide range of interdisciplinary research issues relating to the broader risk field ranging from risk communication,  risk analysis, risk governance, regulation, resilience, and risk management.  In the past we have worked on a number of topics including floods, health and safety, wild fires and food safety. The Risk and society group has existed for more than 10 years and depending on the year in question gathers 20 or so academics at different career stages (PhD, PDRAs, Lecturers, Prof.). The group provides a lively space for interdisciplinary conversations on various aspects relating to the broader area of risk and society. Activities organised in previous years include internal events (e.g., seminars), and ad hoc external events (e.g., ESRC social science festival; contribution to Pint of Science). The scope of activities is always evolving and open to new suggestions.
