Risk and Everyday Life examines how people respond to, experience and think
about risk as part of their everyday lives.
Bringing together original empirical research and sociocultural theory, the
authors examine how people define risk and what risks they see as affecting
them, for example in relation to immigration, employment and family life. They
emphasise the need to take account of the cultural dimensions of risk and
risk-taking to understand how risk is experienced as part of everyday life and
consider the influence that gender, social class, ethnicity, sexual
orientation, occupation, geographical location and nationality have on our
perceptions and experience of risk.
Drawing on the work of key theorists - Ulrich Beck, Scott Lash, and Mary
Douglas - the authors examine and critique theories of risk in the light of
their own research and presents case studies which show how notions of risk
interact with day-to-day concerns.
