Location: 206B (MTCC NORTH BUILDING)
TG04 Sociology of Risk and Uncertainty (host committee)

Language: English

Risk has become a common issue in everyday life and expert debate while some scholars have already started questioning the usefulness of the concept for describing recent societal developments. This session invites papers which aim to advance conceptual work on risk, uncertainty and related concepts such as social resilience, sustainable decision-making or worry. The session also welcomes contributions discussing recent developments in risk theorizing in more general terms regarding the limits of common approaches and further contributions to advance theorizing. For example lifeworlds and the every-day, reflexivity and ambivalence, feminism and post-colonialism, and post-humanism.
