DESCRIPTION:The broad aim of the seminar is to explore\, through individua
 l presentations and group discussion\, the significance of risk for variou
 s aspects of individual and institutional life: its origin in human or sys
 tem behaviour\, its exploitation or containment\, and its broader conseque
 nces.  We intend to analyse examples of risk-taking and/or -response in ar

 response\, and the psychology and science of risk.  We have asked the spea
