SUMMARY:SRA Panel: Is “risk” Risk? | GES Colloquium (Hybrid)
DESCRIPTION:Colloquium Home | Zoom Registration | GES Video Library (current) | Video Archives | Podcast | LinkedIn | Newsletter \nFALL SEMINAR SERIES\nSRA Panel: Is “risk” Risk?\nBiltmore 2006 + Zoom | Leadership from the Society for Risk Analysis explores how ‘risk’ is understood and practiced across agencies and communities working with emerging technologies. \nAlthough formal and legal definitions of risk are widely invoked in policy and governance\, the concept itself is deeply contingent on context and perspective. This panel brings together members of the Society for Risk Analysis – Research Triangle Regional Organization (SRA-RTO) to examine how diverse professional communities articulate and operationalize “risk” in practice. Drawing on experiences from federal agencies such as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers\, as well as collaborations with Tribal leaders and other communities\, panelists will reflect on the social\, institutional\, and epistemic dimensions of risk assessment. By situating emerging technologies within these varied frameworks\, the discussion highlights the tensions between standardized definitions and lived realities\, raising the question of whether “risk” can ever be a singular\, shared concept. \nRelated links: \n\nSociety for Risk Analysis\nDownload seminar poster\n\nPanelists\nMembers of the executive board of the Society for Risk Analysis – Research Triangle Regional Organization. \n\nNick Loschin\, PhD Student in Interdisciplinary Risk Sciences (Applied Ecology) and AgBioFEWS Fellow\, NC State\nJill Furgurson\, PhD Student in Forestry and Environmental Resources\, STS scholar\, and AgBioFEWS Fellow\, NC State\nMadison Horgan\, PhD Student in Environmental Engineering and member of the Interdisciplinary Risk Sciences team\, NC State\nPaul Schlosser\, Biologist at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency\nKatie Barnhill\, Associate Director of Programs & Engagement at the GES Center\, NC State\n\n\nThe Genetic Engineering and Society (GES) Colloquium is a seminar series that brings in speakers to present and stimulate discussion on a variety of topics related to existing and proposed biotechnologies and their place within broader societal changes. \nGES Colloquium is jointly taught by Drs. Katie Barnhill and Nourou Barry\, and the seminars serve as a great opportunity for our students to build their networks and grow as professionals. To support their efforts\, we encourage you to join our in-person seminars\, which will now take place in Biltmore 2006. \nRemember\, we regularly post colloquium seminars as videos on Panopto and on our GES Lectures podcast\, allowing you to revisit or catch up on these recordings at your convenience. \nPlease subscribe to the GES newsletter and LinkedIn for updates.
