Scientific, technical, social, political, and ethical issues. prereq: Grad student or instr consent
This course embraces how risk assessment informs policy development and decision-making in a cross-disciplinary way by addressing core natural science issues on technological impacts and core social science issues on public values and perceptions of risk. It will cover important issues related to risk assessment, risk perception and risk communication.
Grading:
Grading will involve a combination of aspects covering attendance, essays, a quiz and a critical review of risk laws.

One essay (Assignment 3 is a practice and Assignment 5 is the one that will be graded) - worth 25%.
Quiz session 7 worth 25%.
Risk law policy assessments (Assignment 8) worth 30% (10% for presentations and 20% for written policy assessment).
Overall attendance and involvement worth 20%.
Class Format:
Classes will involve lectures from the instructor and interactive sessions where class members will express views based on readings. Risk principles will be translated into practice when the class divides into groups to critically assess risk laws.

Course Catalog Description:
Interplay between risk analysis, decision making, and risk policy. Role of S&T. Assessment methods; risk management processes, issues and methods; role/treatment of uncertainty; factors in decision making; risk-based rule making; public values; risk communication and perception. Scientific, technical, social, political, and ethical issues.
Class Description:
This class will focus on the interplay between risk analysis, decision making, and risk policy for societal issues involving human, environmental, and ecological health and well-being. The role of S&T in risk analysis, either as the subjects or the tools, will be explored. A mix of readings, class discussions, problem solving and group exercises will be used to facilitate understanding of technical risk assessment methods; risk management processes, issues and methods; the role and treatment of uncertainty; factors in decision making; risk-based rule making; public values about risk; risk communication; and risk perception. Scientific, technical, social, political, and ethical issues for select case studies will be discussed. The class will help students develop skills for formulating questions for risk policy research, structuring risk analyses and problems, critiquing analytical and political choices involving risk, and building conceptual models of systems involving risk and decision-making. We will be spending about half the course on the risk policy dimensions (i.e. where risk and S&T intersect with ?society?) and the other half understanding the methodologies and techniques used in risk analysis so that we can be better analysts, consumers, or policy makers in the face of risk information. Although we will do some basic modeling and calculations, sophisticated mathematical abilities are not required. Rudimentary knowledge of statistics and ability to work with algebraic equations will be helpful.
