Social Science Perspectives on Risk Regulation

Thinking Like a Social Scientist lunchtime lecture series


In this lunchtime series of lectures, a selection of LSE's academics from across the spectrum of the social sciences explain the latest thinking on how social scientists work to address the critical problems of the day. They survey the leading ideas and contributions made by their discipline, explain the types of problems that are addressed and the tools that are used, and explore the kinds of solutions proposed.

Professor Hutter will outline a social science approach to understanding risk regulation and point to some of the insights it might throw on contemporary events. She will discuss the ways in which the meanings and understandings of risk are influenced by the broader social and cultural contexts within which they are situated and particularly on how these risks are processed and governed within organizations.
