It is a defining feature of risks as such that they necessitate research from different disciplines to get a grip on their complex nature. In order to appreciate all the various aspects of a certain risk one has to engage with many of these disciplines. This is a highly demanding task and no one can possibly be an expert in all the disciplines covering relevant aspects of a risk. However, one can learn from each other’s expertise.
A SPRING SCHOOL FOR PHD STUDENTS AND EARLY-CAREER POSTDOCS
Therefore, this interdisciplinary workshop invites PhD students and Postdocs (within two years of PhD completion) from Philosophy, Economics, Mathematics, Political Science and related disciplines to present their work on risk to both a disciplinary and an interdisciplinary audience. The workshop will invite leading scholars who, in addition to lecturing on their risk research, comment on the work presented by the participants.
PARTICIPATION
Participation is free. Interested participants should submit (i) a short CV and (ii) an abstract (600-800 words) of their research related to uncertainty and risk by December 15, 2016. Notification of acceptance will be given by January 10, 2017.
